[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1117956, member: 73144"] On Itoje. Very temporarily, Borthwick has a bit of a free hit at the moment. It’s worth dropping him now to send a big message to both Itoje personally and the wider squad. I’m sure he’d get the right reaction, but if not we move on. On 12, Manu’s nowhere near peak but it is his regular club position and 10 is Farrell’s. It feels like a total no brainer to me. Manu could do a perfectly competent job in a limited kind of way with the possibility that he might just have a big moment, but we can’t expect him to be the potential world beater of 10 years ago. When Kelly’s fit he and Manu can fight it out for the shirt. When paired with Farrell, Smith just looks uncomfortable and as if he’s trying a bit too hard. [/QUOTE]
