Afoa's prop preference

John Afoa is enjoying his new task training to be a backup All Blacks hooker, but he still sees his main role in rugby as a prop in the Dominion Post.

"Playing all three (front row positions) is a great option for me and I guess I'm lucky enough to have the skills and body shape for it. But I'd still rather be a prop than a hooker, really specialise in that tighthead and loosehead and then be someone that can cover hooker.

"I don't think there's much difference from around the field and just the way the structure is. It's just about getting the confidence about throwing and nailing it."
