[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 952438, member: 73592"] 2015 LHP: Vunipola, Marler 2019 LHP: Vunipola, Marler, Genge 2015 HK: George, Youngs, Webber 2019 HK: George, Cowan-Dickie, Singleton 2015 THP: Cole, Wilson, Brookes 2019 THP: Cole, Sinckler 2015 LK: Parling, Kruis, Lawes, Launchbury 2019 LK: Itoje, Kruis, Lawes, Launchbury 2015 FL: Robshaw, Haskell, Wood 2019 FL: Curry, Underhill, Ludlam 2015 #8: Easter, Vunipola, Morgan 2019 #8: Vunipola, Wilson 2015 SH: Youngs, Care, Wigglesworth 2019 SH: Youngs, Heinz 2015 FH: Farrell, Ford 2019 FH: Farrell, Ford 2015 CE: Barritt, Joseph, Slade, [Redacted] 2019 CE: Tuilagi, Joseph, Slade, Francis 2015 WG: May, Nowell, Watson 2019 WG: May, Nowell, Cokanasiga, McConnochie 2015 FB: Brown, Goode 2019 FB: Daly, Watson IMO 2019 Vunipola and Marler are better than their 2015 vintage 2019 George is significantly better than 2015 George, but Youngs was better the LCD is right now. Neither 3rd choice is going to worry about anyone. 2019 Cole is way less effective than himself in 2015, but Wilson was better then than Sinckler is just yet - though Sinckler has a much higher ceiling. Itoje is so much better than Parling; whilst Kruis and Lawes are probably more effective now; Launchbury probably isn't. This year's backrow is so much more capable, but do they have that gnarled cynicism that the best have? SH: gods dammit what I wouldn't give for a decent scrum half 2019 Farrell wipes the floor with 2015 Farrell, whilst Ford has added more nouse, but has lost some of the excitement in the process. Each of those centres is a big step up on their 2015 competitors; with the possible exception of Francis vs [Redacted] May, Nowell and Watson are all better players now, Johnny out of all recognition - but by gods we could do with a FB that was actually accustomed to playing there. Coka adds a real fear factor though. [/QUOTE]
