Sometimes it depends on the referee, others on the discipline of the props.I think the second test showed that Vunipola is still a relatively inexperienced scrummager, not surprising given his age. He'll develop that aspect of his game, adding the technical nous to go along with his raw power.It shouldn't be overlooked for the 3rd test though, because a different ref might referee that aspect of the game differently. I'm sure Rowntree will have a word with him, highlighting Aus' driving before Youngs had a chance to put the ball in on some occasions in the second test.</blockquote>
