[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 778625, member: 13739"] I see it as this: 5 - tighthead lock, as he packs down behind the tighthead prop in the scrum. The tighthead prop is under more pressure in the scrum, thus in order to help the tighthead prop, the tighthead lock is usually the stronger scrummager of the two locks. This usually translates into him being the heavier of the two. 4 - loosehead lock, picked more for his lineout abilities, with less emphasis on scrummaging. Likely to be the more mobile, thus will have slightly different roles in attack and defence. That's the way I see it anyway. [/QUOTE]
