- Loosehead prop should approach the hooker from the rear, and should reach behind the hooker and bind on the hip area at the top of the shorts.
- Tighthead prop should also approach the hooker from behind and bind on the hip area at the top of the shorts, in a position that allows for their shoulders to remain square.
