[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 933754, member: 72520"] Fair enough; I can’t see us taking any more than 5 back rowers. NZ made it work last tournament by only taking 3 locks but that was because their lock stocks were pretty crap at the time and they had a surplus of quality back rowers. For us it would be a case of dropping Launchbury for the likes of Hughes. I was fairly confident that EJ would take: 6. Wilson 7. Curry, Underhill 8. Vunipola, Hughes But Shields’ inclusion over Hughes this weekend has made me question that. I’d imagine/hope that Wilson, Curry and Vunipola are bolted on and then 2 will be selected from Shields, Underhill and Hughes. I’d hope for Shields and Underhill but I can see EJ opting for Shields and Hughes. [/QUOTE]
