I think that’s quite disrespectful to the role of a hooker at international level.I do understand that it is about safety but I still don’t see why a loose head as an example, couldn’t play hooker. I don’t suggest that the centre (who played hooker at U16) gives it a go, but instead the guy who practices hundreds of scrums right next to the hooker.
my unsubstantiated view is that rather than sticking their LH at hooker, they thought they would be less disadvantaged with non competitive scrums - very clearly not understanding the “applications” of the laws.
