Its a great shot. Reminds me of those photos where you see steam rising off a scrum on a chilly night.
He's come on a bundle this season. Really playing well.

Could someone who understands scrummaging tell me what he's like at the set piece, lest I get too excited by him.

Was pinged quite a bit at the beginning of the season, but much less since early-mid October.
For details, you need someone who knows what's happening in the tight - I just fed them the ball and hoped they didn't take the "feed" too literally.

Being 5 foot 8 and 19 stone is a crazy body type.
Can any one come up with a tallest and shortest front row that could scrummage each other?

Obano vs Antonio (the french tighthead) must be one of the biggest. Who's the shortarse that kept taking Cole apart for France?

Both a good player and a short prop by modern standard, so seems likelyMellsblue wrote:Thomas Domingo?

Lesson - don't play pictionary against Mark Itoje!An even more surreal experience was seeing Itoje leading the England lineout sessions. “When I normally see Maro, it’s fun,” Obano said. “I don’t really see him in his authoritative role, but yeah, that was quite cool to see.”
Asked to confirm whether he has always been head boy material, Obano convulses with laughter. “Yeah, Maro is a good….. how can I say this in a diplomatic way?” Obano said. “Maro can give the best picture to the masses, which is a skill that not many people have. Maro’s ability to project things to people and for them to see what he wants them to see is A class. That’s a skill that you have to have as a leader and you have to have as a man that people look to.”

So basically away from the cameras Maro get's upto some shit... I wonder if that may drop as the attention (and just time) grows. How long were we told that Billy V doesn't drink, despite rumours here and there? And then the photo .
