[QUOTE="Geordie, post: 1047811, member: 71380"] Isnt that quite an Australian thing though...to generally disregard the number on a players back...? How many Aussie backs have covered most positions in the back line over their test careers. Playing a lock at 6 is nothing new...if anything its a means of introducing young mobile locks to the game... Launchbury and Kruis both played most of their early stuff at 6...before moving to their natural position, Martin is clearly doing it now...and Isiekwe has gone the other way. Though now hes back at Sarries, i hope he nails that lock spot...he has all the tools for a top lock. Lawes has made a career of just playing both...due to his basketball style athleticism. Ted Hill, well it looks like he might be making the transition to lock, though in all honesty id rather he stayed as a bruising 6. [/QUOTE]
