[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1120837, member: 73144"] Lawes is the only realistic lock cover (I discount the possibility of Dombrandt). Maybe Borthwick wants to keep some flexibility but it would feel odd to have a Plan A to replace both flankers while both locks to go to the full 80….although our unwritten constitution includes a clause that M Itoje may not be substituted. Arundell’s had precious little rugby recently and this will be a charged atmosphere so no problems with him not starting. Especially as, in theory, we’re still in championship contention. But I do want to see him given more chances - he feels like a potential game changer, which I just don’t see in Malins even if he’s gone relatively well so far. Watson when fit is a no brainer. OHC I don’t really have a view on which possibly tells its own story. Wouldn’t totally discount May for the RWC either. Please not from training? [/QUOTE]
