What happens for example if we have a prop on the injured list and then another one got suspended for a game or two for a yellow card or something... Given that you must have 4 props in the 23 - Would we be forced to replaced the injured guy even if he was only out for a few days with a twinge?? Or can you replace a guy if he's suspended and unavailable to play?
In terms of the provision of front row players to comply with Law 3.5, the necessary number of reserve front row players must be included in the Tournament Team to cover last minute injuries to front row players selected in the Match Team within the 48 hour replacement timeframe set out in Section 4.5 on page XX.

If you've only got 5 props in the squad then it's hard to see how you could have 4 available for the match even without the 48hr rule.
