  Not much difference in today's game position wise. Depends on their skill set. For eg junior Paulo and fafita although props can also slot into what was traditionally a 2nd row or lock position a lil wide of the ruck. Taumalolo plays all three positions as well. Generally though props are a bigger, heavier and not as quick hence when you need a big hit up of the kick off of the defence has 2-3 guys hitting up you might want a prop to hit it up Last of all most props coz of their size can't go the full 80 where as 2nd row and locks can.

    Pretty good summary right there

    Thanks josh. So lock and second rowers have a bit more skill, agileness and are fit enough to play the entire match whilst props are for short burst impact.

    Yeh pretty much mate but more emphasis that they have different skill set as opposed to more skill.
