[QUOTE="paretrooper, post: 195778"] Yeah fair enough. The Crusaders have been dominated a bit as of late. However Flynn is a shite scrummager and so is Franks/Crockett compared to some others going around the S14. I don't think Somerville is entirely to blame but I could be wrong as I am no front row expert. Tialata would be my next choice with Afoa strongly pushing him. [/b][/quote] Sorry there has only been 2 or 3 games where the crusaders have been dominated. and out of that 2 or 3 times they have lost someone to the bin. (ie scott hamilton comeing in as a flanker) and the times things have not gone to plan it has been Crockett to sure it up. as for Greg Somerville getting "owend" it hard for a tighthead prop to pull down a scrum 90% of the time it is the loosehead prop rolling his outside shoulder down and in and thus pulling the tighthead down.a good loosehead like woodcock try to get there head under the tightheads ribs pushing up thus trying to pop the tighthead out of the scrum. that is why when you see a scrum going backwards the opposeing front row seem to be higher than the domonant front row the loosehead has lifted his man witch in turn allows the hooker and the tighthead to get under there man and lift or "push through" so as far as Somerville being a bad prop f*** all times do you see him getting popped. Crockett is a good up and commer not ready for AB's yet NZ A for sure as for flynn he will all ways be a second brides made behind mealamu and hore. [/QUOTE]
