[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 695217, member: 55446"] I'm slightly concerned that we will crock them before they ever even reach their potential tbh. When you go from scrummaging against U20 opponents, to starting against the best in the world in the space of a year or two, the adjustment period is so small it really worries me. It's not normal for props to be starting for their club so young in their career, and I'm worried that the strain of being first-choice from such a young age will shorten their careers, or cause injuries early in their career that will recur throughout. Front row players bodies take more stress, due to the scrum, than any other position, so this is of a much bigger concern for young front-row players than others. [/QUOTE]
