[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1117958, member: 59968"] I don’t disagree entirely. Itoje needs something to help him rediscover his form at test level and perhaps being dropped might be the kick he needs, but let’s be real here … Borthwick was never going to do that ahead of his first game in charge. It would have been a suicidal move on all sorts of levels. Itoje deserved to be there as much as any of the other locks yesterday. If Borthwick drops him for Italy, then fair enough. I didn’t dismiss Tuilagi as a viable option at 12. My point was simply that Borthwick hardly put out a team of Eddie-sequence positional weirdness as [USER=72977]@Reiser99[/USER] suggested. [/QUOTE]
