The one minute and a half has taught me more than 35 years of watching rugby.

Can’t believe it has taken me over 50 years to understand what was going on in the front row and now I do. Thank you for the explanation.

That's why the SAs are so good, their training is no joke. A professional player came to coach my son's team. He said they were all far to nice to each other, and that a training session in SA would look nothing like that.

Jason Leonard was good enough to play both sides too.

I’ve played both and this is an excellent summary. Tighthead is much easier because you are tucked into position by two heads either side of yours. When the pressure comes on you can lower your hips and make yourself hard to move. Loosehead you are effectively required to keep a strong neck, a strong back, and make sure your legs are in the correct place. Bloody difficult!

We need more breakdown on what's going on in scrums, it seems like it's one of those things you can only really understand by doing it

I’d say it’s also a left hand vs right hand dominance thing. Same as playing golf or cricket, if that makes sense. I side just feels more natural.

I only thought it was based on which shoulder was stronger, and if you're a natural orthodox boxing stance or southpaw.

That bok scrum against the abs was killer ! They had us kiwis in a choke hold lol cant remember if it was a quick tap after that then reinach scored but. I remember thinking, thats why they are the worlds best. That moment right there. Able to swing momentum at any given time throughout 80 minutes is crazy.

It’s mad to watch Haskell and Tindall react and realise that these top, top level players who dedicated their lives to this game have zero experience of the position that the guy next to them is playing each game.

The biggest difference is wages tightheads are one of top 2 paid players on your roster.
