Josh Wycherley leads by example in Munster scrum test

“We knew all week that they were a big pack. We spoke about just getting out the blocks. I thought Foxy went really well tonight, we had a bit of a shaky start but we regathered and it's great growth for him to go up against a bigger pack like that."

Josh Wycherley can speak with good authority on the choices facing a young prop after a nerve-jangling first scrum against a powerful front row.
