    New prop Jerseys to be trialled



    With scrummaging the focal point in the rugby world at present, Varsity Rugby has acted fast to try and solve a problem in the front-rows by producing special jerseys to help props with their binding.

    All the props in the Varsity Cup competition will wear these jerseys with a 'gripping patch' on the back left of the jersey for the loosehead props and a patch on the right for the tighthead prop - allowing the opposition props to get a better grip when binding and, thus, to keep scrums from collapsing.

    My opinion is they will need a patch on both sides for when Props swap, other than that, it's worth a trial.

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    They are also going to trial using 2 refs per game.

    Not sure how that's going to work. Is it gonna be like NRL where one ref looks at attacking side and one at defence?
