[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 1004087, member: 72520"] Yeah not a great performance that. Maintain that he’s usually a good player though. I think EJ’s realised with lock that he’s always essentially going to be picking someone to start alongside Itoje. With Itoje being very dynamic but only 6’5 and ~115kg you need a real brute of a 5 to even the scales a bit. Explains why 6’7+, 123kg+ guys like Moon and Ribbans have gotten the nod over back-row-hybrid Isiekwe. Doesn’t bode very well for 112kg Hill... That said I’d rather see Isiekwe included as a back rower over the likes of Ludlow and Clement. Their inclusion really makes no sense with the other back row talent around. [/QUOTE]
