[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1050686, member: 73592"] There's also a huge difference for a dodgy prop, between holding your own for 20 minutes, as opposed to holding your own for 60. It's not that he's so bad he's simply outclassed in every scrum - it's that the more hard work he does, the worse he gets at it. Added to which, of course; what he offers in open play works so much better against tired legs. For England, I'd always start Marler and have Mako on the bench (or Genge); for the Lions I'd always start the solid scrummager (and quite honestly, there's no wrong decision between Jones and Sutherland), with Mako on the bench.
