Heard Michael Wood is back at Brothers - playing prop!
Apparently Penney tried it breifly while he was at the tahs:
Penney converted Harry Johnson-Holmes into a tighthead, with no more than moderate success. Heck, he even tried to turn Michael Wood, an Australian Under 20’s second-rower, into a prop. It was a bizarre move.
Wood had scored the Tahs’ first try of the season, against the Reds in Narrabri, a rampaging backrower’s effort in which he had stormed onto a sublime short pass from centre Tepai Moeroa and smashed through the line. Yet at the same time, there he was, tucking into meat pies, trying to bulk himself up to play in the front-row. Fortunately, that process has now been reversed but it has been a largely wasted season for a promising young player.
