[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1109311, member: 73592"] Define "consistently" - "currently" then I'd absolutely agree with you; but he has been a little hit and miss at Worcester (whilst Manu has been a bit present or absent at Sale, of course), but I wouldn't list consistency as one of Lawrences main attributes Become? I'm not sure you can really use a player with 1 cap, 23 years ago, as evidence that something has "become too obsessed with" As for Lawrence, 13 is his position of best fit, and fortunately, where he actually plays most of his rugby, and where he fits best in his Bath team. He can do a job at 12, but it doesn't get the best out of him; and I wouldn't want to try moving him there because that's the England shirt that happens to be empty. If we're going to move any of our 13s to 12 to suit England, and convince a club to go along with it, it should be Slade; at least for him 12 is his position of best fit, he just hasn't played there enough to get used to it and stop second guessing himself all the time (for that matter, I wish he'd stop second guessing himself at 13 for England). I'd also add that Redpath has 1 more year left at Bath, if Ojomoh continues to develop, and Cameron wants a move to Scotland (or in my dream world, Ojomoh develops to be better than Redpath!); Ojomoh, Lawrence could become the go-to combination for club and country (though I always seem to rate club combinations more highly than international coaches). As could Kelly, Porter, of course. [/QUOTE]
