[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 791166, member: 70552"] I think with the whole Itoje whether he's a lock or 6; it's a matter of having him in the team. For me Launchbury when fit is world class. As Kruis has cemented his place at 5 for Australia, then England need to have both Itoje and Launchbury in the pack. I just don't see England moving to the next level with Robshaw at 6. No-one saw Pocock as an 8, and before the Pooper it was either him or Hooper at 7. Then came Australia v NZ last year and Chieka tried the Pooper and it was phenomenal. Breakdown and line out is so key in today's international game and I think having Launchbury, Kruis and Itoje at 4,5 and 6 will make England pack stronger in these two key areas. [/QUOTE]
