[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1043622, member: 59968"] Maybe not as a pairing but I still don’t think it would be the worst thing in he world to have two mobile locks in the squad. Essentially, if the move worked out well, Hill could become the successor to Lawes. I guess you could say the same about Martin though. We’re lacking big tighthead locks and there isn’t anyone obvious coming through. From a medium term POV, I think Kruis walks back in to the side if he returns to Saracens (or another Premiership side) for the 22/23 season. He’ll be 33 by the time the RWC rolls around but that’s not particularly old for a lock and a couple of years in a less physical league might help to preserve him a bit. I’d also like to see Isiekwe focus on lock. He has the size and physicality to be ideal and partnering Itoje at club level would surely be the best platform for advancing his England credentials. Kpoku gets a fair bit of hype, but hasn’t lived up to it yet and if we’re looking for extra height, he’s only marginally bigger than Itoje. [/QUOTE]
