The recent trend for looseheads has been towards big bodies props, technically it’s a less demanding position when compared to right head also.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Pone makes the shift to loosehead, I think it would be better for the Wallabies also with Sio’s form sliding the past couple of years.
I see what your saying but I think the other side is stitched up till slips decides to hang them up. Pone has a league back ground & basically only started packing down a few years ago & you can see how raw he is in some moments maybe just leave him focus on TH.
For what its worth I actually thought in 2020 Cam Orr was very unlucky not to be in the wider squad for the RC then last yr our S&C guys didnt help with 3 props going down with soft tissue inj's on the eve of the season. Hopefully he can have a full pre season & then by the end of super rugby get himself in the discussion again.
Can you actually believe we are talking about getting props ready for 3rd string? 5 years ago we were scratching our heads to find bench players in this country
