Because most teams have a clear first choice LHP at the moment.

I know, I was just explaining why. Its interesting that there are so few young looseheads pushing through.

I went for Woodcock, Healy and The Beast. Woodcock is maybe not the best player but the most reliable and consistent, a player everyone would want in their team.

Healy, maybe Im biased as a Leinster fan but I think when he has a good day, no other LH prop has anything on him. He is not as reliable as Woodcock but he is better around the field with bone breaking hits and knockout runs, Woodcock cant do what Healy can in the loose, and on a good day for Healy he is very imposing in the scrum.

The Beast, maybe I should have gone for Jenkins but anyway, The beast is the most Athletic loose head i've ever seen,very explosive in the loose, but I feel he isnt as good in the scrum, where he is most needed.

Despite Healy and the beast being mobile and very good players in the loose, thats not where they are needed and thats why Woodcock is maybe just a step ahead of the two as he rarely gives penalties away in the scrum and is more reliable then Healy(Though he has improved his reliability alot) and the Beast.

Roncero always performs on the big stage, probably the most underrated LHP.

True.

More like overlooked because Argentina don't play that often (until now). I don't know what Argentina will do when he retires (probably when he is about 60) as he is a rock in the Arg scrum.

They have Ayerza behind him, who is also a very good loosehead. The young tighthead Figallo is only 23 and very good already, so I suspect witht he increased exposire that Argentina will now get to top class opposition in the Rugby Championship, they could well go on to become long term fixtures in the front row.

Forgot Ayerza

I was very impressed with Figallo on the weekend.

Voted for Healy, Woodcock and Roncero.

Jenkins and Woodcock was a hard call. Jenkins probably does more in the loose while Woodcock is more solid in the scrums.

One of Corbisero or Marler could probably take Woodcock's place in a year or so though.

Went for Woodcock, Healy and Corbs.

Woodcock is the most reliable and best in the scrums which is why he's top.

Healy can be immense and probably has the biggest impact in games.

Corbisero is like another version of Healy but better in the scrums while being not quite as powerful in the loose, he hasn't got as many caps as Healy but looked impressive when playing.

No Thomas Domingo?

the guy is like a rock in the Clermont pack and is the ultimate example of technique over power.

1. Domingo
2. Beast
3. Healy
