Hi Iolo,

When the front rows engage, the props must bind as follows:

• Loosehead Prop: Binds on the back or side of the opposing tighthead prop’s jersey, gripping firmly below the armpit.

• Tighthead Prop: Binds on the loosehead prop’s jersey, gripping firmly on the back or side below the armpit.

Both props must maintain a strong, legal bind to ensure stability and safety.

I hope this helps,

Cam
