[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 942454, member: 73144"] We’ve shown a number of times that a fast start is irrelevant if you can’t sustain it. As soon as momentum tips it’s incredibly hard to get it back. I’d rather have us in the game at 50 minutes with a bench that can ratchet it up than have a lead slipping away with a low impact bench. Tuilagi and Binny look more like finishers these days. On the LH question I think Marler is more solid all round, whereas Mako is brilliant in some respects but weaker in others. There is no doubt that Mako can be more impactful when the game breaks up and for that reason I’d start Marler with Mako coming off the bench. But that’s all academic as Marler’s not available.
