Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2804954, member: 8215"] The difference between "exciting young forwards" and seasoned veterans is ruck awareness. The young ones might run hard and tackle hard if they catch the opposition square, but it's the awareness, getting in to the position to smother the opposition early that makes the difference. I saw nothing to suggest that Blair & Sims are going to be pushed out of the starting spots. I may be wrong about Sims but I reckon he's being played at lock in the trials just to see which of the other props deserve a bench spot. Arrow isn't as flash but of all the younger players he seems to be drilled the most on ruck control. He is no where near as big as some of the others but locks up the opposition through smarts instead of brute strength. [/QUOTE]
