[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1171829, member: 73592"] In that case, we need to sack every professional coach at every level of the game, ever. Rugby's a team game, a coach's job is get the best out of team picked on the day - not to get the best individual performances out of the various individuals selected. Itoje being asked to play likes any other lock, is still a better lock than any of the alternatives. It may not be the best use of Itoje, but it may be the best for the team. Of course, my opinion is that we've wasted Itoje recently by neutering his point of difference in order to be a superior version of any-other-lock; and it's one of many ways I've disagreed with Borthwick, but that doesn't make it a sackable offence IMO.
