[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 1050769, member: 72520"] I think the pressure is eased a bit by the fact that Faletau is also very capable of covering 6 (it’s where he’s played pretty much the entirety of his season at Bath) which means that if Beirne has to come on at lock there is still ample 6 cover (it also frees up Lawes to cover lock in the unlikely situation that both Itoje and AWJ go down). The lack of any real 7 cover is a concern though. [/QUOTE]
