TIGHTHEAD PROPS SO rarely make breaks in threatening positions, that it isn’t all that surprising that they usually look to truck over the nearest defender rather than spray a pass out wide.
Sale prop Vadim Cobilas completely bamboozled Saracen’s Duncan Taylor with a show-and-go last Saturday, but then he went off script.
Rather than seek contact, he fired a no-look missile across his body, which luckily for him, was expertly controlled by wing Tom Brady and finished off.

There is a look on his face a split-second before he throws the pass that says ‘why didn’t I spend more time honing my open-field handling skills?! Oh ye, I’m a tighthead prop. That’s why!’.
Still showed great awareness to outfox the Sarries centre though.
