  • PROPS – WORTH THEIR WEIGHT in GOLD? by IAN MALIN, RUGBY JOURNALIST and NEWS EDITOR at the GUARDIAN This Article Was Written in May 2007
    PROPS – WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD? BY IAN MALIN, RUGBY JOURNALIST AND NEWS EDITOR AT THE GUARDIAN This article was written in May 2007. England Saxons recently named a squad for this spring’s Churchill Cup and the side’s coach, Jim Mallinder, had to dig pretty deep to unearth a group of forwards. With England’s frontline squad in South Africa already shorn of players from European Cup finalists Leicester, Wasps and Bath, some unfamiliar names were included in Mallinder’s squad. A potential Saxons front row could have been the London Irish veteran Neil Hatley, his club-mate David Paice and the Northampton prop John Brooks, who is moving this summer to Harlequins. All of them are capable players but, with the greatest respect to them, they would probably walk unrecognised down their own streets. And one was born in South Africa, another in Australia and another New Zealand. So, is there a national shortage of props? England suddenly have a plethora of exciting young fly-halves, one that would not have disgraced Wales’s once famous fly-half factory. Ryan Lamb, Shane Geraghty, Adrian Jarvis and Danny Cipriani will hopefully be vying for the England No10 shirt come 2011, but where are England’s young endomorphs? Perhaps a reality TV programme, call it Prop Idol, could unearth a few. Gloucester’s Jack Forster, who was also in the Saxons squad, and David Wilson, the promising young giant from Newcastle, are two of the fancied names to fly to New Zealand in four years time. But the most significant signing of the year in the Guinness Premiership is surely Carl Hayman, by far the best tight-head prop in the world, a wrecking-ball of a man who also, as England discovered at Twickenham last autumn, has a fair turn of speed too.
