[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 605983, member: 38640"] But in 2011 there were 22 men benches. Now there are 23 men benches with a room for an extra prop - so it would only take one prop to be injured and we'd have to rely on a hooker...seems unlikely to me. That said there seemed to be room for injury replacements in the last RWC, but it would mean a prop would have to be fully replaced. I'd be suprised if we didn't see five props in the RWC 2015, unless a hooker starts to look outstanding as a prop. Now I want Aled de Malmanche back as he's been very good at prop for Stade Francais and wasn't bad when he was here. It wouldn't hurt otherwise having a prop who can play hooker at a pinch, but I don't think making a hooker play prop often wields any good results. [/QUOTE]
