Dunning embraces tighthead challenge
June 23, 2008
AUSTRALIA prop Matt Dunning is hoping his transition from loosehead to tighthead will extend his rugby career.
Dunning admitted his move had been challenging but enjoyable and said it may even delay the need to find a real day job.
More so than looseheads, tighthead props often play Test rugby well into their 30s, and 29-year-old Dunning believes there is no reason why he can't as well, providing he continues to perform.
"I've got no set profession to go into when I finish football," said the 37-Test veteran of two World Cup campaigns.
"I've definitely got some career paths I'm looking at, but they won't be hampered if I'm playing football until I'm 45.
