England Front row of the future ... Today !

First topic message reminder :

Dan Cole (28 caps): 25 years of age
Alex Corbisiero (15):23
Dylan Hartley (39) :26
Joe Gray (0):23
Joe Marler (0) :21
Matt Mullan: (1) :25.

I Have never claimed to have understood the Dark arts of front row play but what i do know is that it normally takes a considerable amount of time to master the skills to an international standard.

Yet england have a combined age of their starting props of 48 , and these guys have more than proved their worth by absolutely destroying Ireland in the 6 nations. They also have even younger promising talent coming up through the ranks (Marler).

As an England supporter im glad we have such youth that could easily still be around in over 10 years time.

Is there a younger front row combination in international rugby that is just as effective or close ?

How are other nations doing in comparison ?

A prop NEEDS to be able to prop.

Also a prop needs to be allowed to prop on his natural side. Not like Tom Court was forced to do against England during the Six Nations this year.
