[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 905208, member: 73144"] If you're going to mix and match the team you could argue that we'd expect to lose at altitude so this would be the one to take the riskier selections with. But then you also want to set the right tone. The Baa Baas reinforced that Robshaw's not one for the thin air. Give Shields his head. Or maybe even combine the younger legs of Curry and Simmonds. What I want out of this tour more than results is for 2 or 3 players to really stick their hands up to demand a shirt. @TheBlindside - Mako looked knackered in the 6N but he was MoM in the AP semi and final. He has been flogged, but there didn't seem to be much wrong with his end of season form and fitness away from the Eng set up. Ditto Itoje. [/QUOTE]
