I think I should have a 1 game comeback. Get a real old-school born again hard prop on the field. Mind you, under these new pansy professional rules I'd probably get sin binned or sent off!

For being an old style prop. Such gems as introducing the opposition fly half to 3 feet below the surface of the pitch at the first available opportunity

erm...I'm a flanker - trust me, if you run a bit faster, thats still legal :biggrin:


The best bit is when he tries to keep his foot up after a kick, and you spear him with your shoulder in his crotch - his foot gets down a lot quicker after that...

Since when was "first available opportunity" ever legal? I never mentioned him actually being in posession of the ball :p:

ah - I do that too - it helps if you have the kick off though - then you get your fly half to sail it right over his head and...BAM!

When I watch Rugby now I weep for the by-gone era of evil front rows. They just don't seem to exist!

and fortunately so...Image what it would be like if Andrew Sheridan actually used his power for evil?

We have an AS equivalent on our team though, and he IS evil :eek:

pfft - I nail props into the ground - but I dont like having to protect my scrum half from a prop who likes using his hands - usually gets me binned when I knee him in the face during a scrum....

Still speaking like a back .... talks a good game, but pansy on the pitch :p:

Erm...You've never seen me play, so you cant substantiate that claim :wink: Unless your new definition of pansie is doormat, in which case I tend to get spat out the side of a ruck having been used as one of them a few times a game to say the least...

Flanker = pre-op girly back :p:

Deal with it, get fat and play a real position :p:

You don't need to be fat to play a "prop"er position, weight helps but it's not everything.

Bah!! Are you even a member of the Brotherhood of Front Rows (aka the Front Row Union) ? We use the word fat regardless of the technicalities of muscle or fat build up. :rolleyes:

I am currently and normally a front rower (1, 2 mainly and 3) but can play back row aswell. And scrumhalf actually.

A front row than can play scrumhalf? You must be joking?!

I guess it depends how old/into it you are. At Sixth Form, I was a Number 4 but occasionally played as a winger as well...

Pfft! everyone thinks they can play backrow, which from watching most who claim to be able to multi-role and do it, clearly cant.
