i was thinking it's between

Northampton

Leicter tigers

harlequins

bath

who you think's front row is the best and why
 
Think it's between Northampton, Leiecester and Bath.
Either Saints or Tigers, possibly leaning towards Saints.

All three are pretty dominant when they come up against their opposition though. Scary thing is though, all of those teams bench props are better than most others in the Premiership (Castrogiovanni, Dave Flatman, Euan Murray)
 
On recent form it's Saints by a considerable margin. However, a season is a marathon - not a sprint - so time will only tell if that remains the case.
 
Tonga'uiha is one of the best looseheads in the world. Murray on form is one of the most destructive tightheads. So I'd say Saints. But clearly, Leicester can pick Cole/ Castrogiovanni/ White at 3 and still dick on most other scrums about.

Certainly between those two.
 
Definitely not Bath at the moment, their set piece is absolutely **** as it is.
 
I think harlequin's 140 kg tight head john Johson and their loose head Joe Marler who's scrummaging is just extreamly destructive are two very underated props. if they had a more physical secondrow behind them they would be atleast one of the best.
 
when quins played newcastle John Johnson had Jon Golding sent off the pitch after less than 3 mins
