The best loosehead prop in world rugby right now?
Pre-World Cup World XV - Loosehead
I've seen a few of these floating around on social media so with the impending world cup, I thought it would be interesting to try and create a 606v2 XV and possibly see how it compares to one after England lift the trophy. Mostly done on form coming into the tournament.....add your thoughts, selections and complaints below.
To start.......we have no1.......Loosehead Prop:
1. Steven Kitshoff - Yes he's ginger, but don't let that take away Kitchoff's all round qualities as a top top international prop. He can do pretty much everything and is part of the most dominant scrum in rugby at the minute.
2. Ellis Genge - One of the few English players that can hold their head up high after a turgid year of International rugby.
3. Cyril Baille - A travesty the Frenchman will be injured for the tournement as he's had a stellar year. A great option in the tight and the loose, he just seems to put a solid performance in every game.
(Notable mentions for Andrew Porter, Pierre Schoeman and Ethan De Groot)

Re: Pre-World Cup World XV - Loosehead
I struggle a little with SA forwards and these sort of select 15 s at the moment due to their subs tactics. Great set of players but I always er towards a player who is playing the majority of the match.
I don't think I'd be selecting many England players eithers at the mo due to Borthwick holding them back for the WC, so Baille.

I'd have gone with Porter, but Kitschoff of these three
