    The late great Danie Craven (South African rugby pioneer and legend) once said - "The two most important positions on a rugby team are your tighthead prop and your reserve tighthead prop". So Frans is 100% the correct pick for this video. Well done mate. Great video

      In fact, New Zealand's depth in general has taken a big hit from their post-WC exodus.

    Like your selection routine. Makes sense. I wouldn't pick Porter, not great technique and gives away too many penalties. He is like marler who thinks it is all brute strength. In the Six Nations there is not much competition in the scrums now. I would pick another prop who is starting to monster up like Malherbe - Fletcher Newell. He is very young and has great technique and dominating power.
