Away wins are worth their weight in gold.
Stormers bagging the full 5 and denying Connacht a single point is quite satisfying.
Certainly silenced their fans.
But yes, pundits often talk of 22 entry conversion rates. That is an average points scored for every 22 entry. I'd like to see what...
From a layman's perspective I'm guessing the roles are quite similar. The big difference being scrums and lineouts.
Hookers and flankers tend to carry into contact as regularly, both often find themselves carrying out wide.
Hooker generally joins the lineout maul last, on attacking maul...
Marx actually played flank most of his school career. Only towards the end of his school boy career did he shift to hooker. Like really late in his career.
I recall watching him live against Parktown boys playing 7 flank.
You could see he was something special. Melting Parktownians left...
But as a long term solution I don't see the point if it's purely about having an extra jackler in the pack. Unless the hooker you bringing on is also a jackler? Deon Fourie or potentially Paul de Villiers...
Probably none. Perhaps the opportunity for jackle is increased playing off of the flank but if Malcolm were to play a full 80 he should probably do it at hooker.
If he moves to flank and Grobbelaar comes on at 2 for example, overall you are not gaining a jackler. .
Batting conditions looking very good. We need to take every opportunity created and we'll win comfortably. Can't afford any dropped catches though.
I'd say it's 55/45 in favour of the Proteas.
