[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 804811, member: 72520"] I don't like Itoje moving to 6 for a couple of reasons: 1. I don't want to move him out of position, him and Kruis have a really solid partnership, so when Lawes and Launch (Whichever you want to put out if its a 3 locks situation) can both play 6, I'd rather keep Itoje lock, 1 of them 6. 2. If there is a 3 lock, 1 at 6 combo, it means Clifford, Harrison or Robshaw at 7. That would be a huge lack of physicality compared to what we've had so far in our flankers, and I don't think Itoje makes up for that physicality. Lawes/Launch would do. [/QUOTE]
