[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 1044403, member: 72409"] One thing I will say about this is I think Gatland has gone a little old school, for a tighthead lock and a loosehead lock having different roles. AWj he clearly wanted to be big in tackle counts, hit a ton of rucks and lock out the scrum. He's expecting the same of Beard, Jonny Hill. Hendy as well, though he can kind of do everything in a loose or tight side of things. Maro is the only one who's not fitting this definition, and in fact you can understand why, he's that good (for me anyway) that he hast to be there, plus although he weighs less, I would wager he's as strong as the rest of them, a real explosive athlete, and potentially Tadgh Beirne if he plays in the row at some point [/QUOTE]
