I was so surprised, I forgot to ask him if this binding was unique to the Force, however this evening I was watching the Viking v Sydney game played yesterday, and noticed Wagner the Viking THP doing the same thing! This is the young prop the Force have signed for next year.
Anyway, today the Force went OK in the scrums, with Tom Sheminant starting at THP. So I owe Tom an apology.
