Lean forward (4)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

prop

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'lean' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'forward' is the second definition.
(both can mean a rugby player)

(Other definitions for prop that I've seen before include "Person or thing providing support" , "See 5" , "Set piece" , "Stay" , "A rigid supprot or piece of satge furniture (4)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
