The Loose Head Props...


The props main role is to scrummage, support the line outs and hit the rucks and mauls. According to Jason Leonard, former England and Lions prop, "The primary role of the loose-head, on the other hand, is to look after the hooker so he can get a clean strike at the ball, but these days loose-heads have to be destructive too."
