FOOTAGE: Moving footage has emerged of a young man taking his first steps into PROP LIFE

The Champions Trophy Final today, 12 minutes in, young second-row breaks through two tackles and a young number 3 holds him down.

That was the last the lock saw of his boots, for this prop made what we can only assume is a first in this prop’s long and flourishing career.

After throwing the boots to the wayside we can expect more, bootlace untying, ball flicking and all around tomfoolery from this fellow.
