Been a flanker for my whole playing career so far, currently 28. Do a lot of bodybuilding training on top of my Rugby and as I got bigger I gradually moved from 7, to 6 and have now been asked to try my hand at tighthead prop next season. Always open to a challenge and fancy a change in my rugby so I have started training for it.
Just wondering if anybody else has done a similar move, and if so, any problems they experienced or advice they can give.?
Currently weighing 15 and a half stone at 5 foot 10. Well aware that the props in my league tend to be the more stereotypical larger gentleman who will generally out weigh me significantly so Im focusing a lot of the technical side of the scrum (which Ive been oblivious to for years stuck safely in the back row!). Any smaller, more athletic props in here to offer advice going up against the old school heavier guys?
