[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 930803, member: 73144"] I was talking about who should start alongside Kruis. If I was Lawes, having gone well on Sat, I'd feel pretty annoyed if someone who hadn't even been selected in the last match day squad came into the starting XV ahead of me. Arguably Lawes' athleticism and line out prowess is a bit more akin to Itoje's game anyway. The French are big, but don't really punch their weight, so Lawes lack of weight (isn't he about the same as Itoje?) shouldn't count too heavily against him. We're at home, there's an argument to run them off their feet from the start. But either Lawes or Launch is fine. [/QUOTE]
