[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 920317, member: 73144"] Now that Lawes is available I'm wondering if Itoje might just get the 6 shirt. He's not the most finessed there and a penalty liability anywhere, but he might just work as a horse for course selection. Straw clutching, but the best chance of getting to the ABs is surely to get in their face, get physical and disrupt. That kind of chaos is Itoje's game and for this match arguably best dispensed from flank where he can get to the action a little bit quicker. He's certainly a much more dynamic player than Shields seems to be. That's my world, but I still expect Shields to start. Jones was lauded as a genius for pulling Harrison and Burrell early in previous matches; does he still have that kind of courage of conviction these days? [/QUOTE]
