[QUOTE="Wichita, post: 1025950, member: 59727"] If you have a look at the try scored by Ollivon in the 2020 6N against England (when there were actual people in the stands :(), he catches the ball from the touchline throw, then follows Dupont, actually staying alongside Dupont when the French 9 breaks, which is saying something. To me this qualifies as mobile. As Dylan Cretin is probably a better runner than Ollivon and Aldritt is definitely faster than BV, I would say this French backrow is quite mobile. And it has to be this way, as the French locks will probably not run around the field as fast as the backrow. In comparison, if you except BV who has a front -row format (and tends to play like one recently;)), Curry/ Wilson/ Itoje/E wels are a much more homogeneous bunch, while the French have two completely different formats as locks and backrowers.
