[QUOTE="LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan), post: 1058821, member: 70842"] Mako also got his head put between his ass v South Africa and was a key (IMO) reason why we lost (Along with not starting Kruis). Mako has a truly outstanding work rate for a prop, but he isn't IMO a solid scrummager therefore for me can't be outstanding. I like Marler but fail to see what makes him outstanding at international level v other props? He's very good at scrums but what else makes him outstanding? and if that's the level has Genge struggled with scrums at this level yet? Being extremely biased here but Dan Cole in his peak (Talking years and years and years ago before he became a stupid penalty magnet and was told to lose weight leading up to the 2015 RWC) was prob the last England prop I would say was outstanding at this level, he was a top scrummager but was also excellent defensive both in terms of tackles, Maul work and work over the ball (Till he decided to just flop on everything...) edit; Actually Sinckler was outstanding leading up and during the RWC as well tbh.
