  1. Panel 1

    On a sunny training field, a bearded prop in black turns to his team-mates.

    Prop: Who are we scrumming today?

  2. Panel 2

    An assistant coach in a green cap points down the field, where Rassie is waiting by the scrum machine.

    Assistant coach: Rassie said he’ll join this one.

  3. Panel 3

    The prop pulls off his scrum cap, suddenly troubled. The players behind him look no happier.

    Prop: Actually... my neck.

  4. Panel 4

    In the changing room the prop is on his phone while the rest of the front row packs bags in a hurry.

    Prop: How quickly can you change a man’s identity?

  5. Panel 5

    Rassie stands alone at the scrum machine, hands on hips.

    Rassie: Where’s their front row?

  6. Panel 6

    An official in a dark suit and sunglasses holds a box stamped WITNESS PROTECTION. Rassie considers it.

    Official: Gone, Coach.

    Rassie: So... uncontested?
