[QUOTE="Slamdunk, post: 784468, member: 73736"] Im not sure i agree. In 2013 when we smashed England i watched the first half with my wife and she was behind the sofa biting her nails off. It was intense, shattering, physical and very very close indeed yet Tipuric held up well and was MoM. The reason was that Warburton was at 100% on the blindside. I suspect that, had Lydiate played against Ireland and Scotland our back row still would have looked slightly off. Tipuric has been carrying Warburton to a degree and as a result the back row lacked dynamism. Certainly, when alongside an in form match-fit Warburton, Tipuric has looked great. the key here is Warburton - not his fault, and he is getting fitter. Lydiate might feel the benefit of the match-fit Warbs that Tipuric missed and as a result our back row will go much better. its my theory anyway. [/QUOTE]
