[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1109487, member: 73592"] A can be directly counter to B (see the current situation with Hookers - where we can't afford to bin George in case LCD picks up an injury; and therefore the situation continues, as no 3rd option actually gets a chance at international rugby; that logic sees LCD and George being our hooking duo into their 50s) Now, I agree that if you're good enough, you're young enough, but we need more than 2 options for each position - especially front row. I've already given my favoured approach on this thread, so won't spam with repetition*; but I think the entire RWC squad should get the following summer and Autumn off for R&R, and development of alternatives. I'd give the RWC starting XV longer off. If they're that good, then they'll come straight back into the squad once they've had a break, if we've found someone better in the mean time, then that's a good thing. * ETA: Sorry, not this thread, but was within a week: [URL='https://www.therugbyforum.com/threads/england-vs-new-zealand-19-11-22.48754/page-5#post-1108068']Linky [/URL]for anyone interested [/QUOTE]
