England 2024/25

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

It's prob a reason why England are obsessed with him at LH

Not to say that AOF can't succeed, but if you're conceding that much weight you've got to be an excellent scrummaging technician and contributing elsewhere.

Ticks both those boxes tbf,
Feel like people have forgotten the names he has in his back pocket from last season, took him about 3 months to complete a scrum because he was just winning penalties at every one, and these were against big international players as well

That's small by international standards now.

Vincent Koch is only 3kg heavier. 118kg and he's widely considered one of the best in the business on current form at tight head?

Well hopefully Fordjour, Fasogabon and Sela can push each other on....

And Heyes...and Harper ..

Surely form all those we'll get a couple of top class ones.

He is, although not usually a first choice. And coming to the end of his career, the new breed is definitely getting bigger.

And that's still 3kg above where AOF wants to be, not where he is now. Plus Koch has the experience of 60 caps over 9 years, having plied his trade in 3 separate countries and coming from an environment where scrum is king.

Well let's hope he can kick on and do the hype justice.
