[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1077598, member: 45598"] I've ways said Italy in round three is the worst time to get them, both in terms of actually winning this tournament and for rotation. All we can do is tweak one or two things so as not to disrupt the team too much and leave guys cold with four weeks between games. I'm not that worried about 15 and props in the same way as I am if Sexton or JGP went, we have guys who are proven at European level and I think it's one of the easier positions to slot into a new team in provided you're already a specialist there. Now the drop off in the props is fairly huge but that's an individual talent issue, you can't turn a guy into Porter or Furlong no matter how much time you give them. I'd like Lowry, Balacoune and Hume to get chances (not all this weekend) more because they offer something different, and possibly better with the first two, to the current starters rather than needing to plug potential holes.
