[QUOTE="kicklikeaprop, post: 259538"] for me AWJ is at a massive disadvantage as regards starting the first test because like poc he is not a front of the line jumper where as both doc and hines are.I know there is alot of movement in the line these days but you still need a very good jumper for the front of the line . martin johnson being the obvious example ........ how often did you see him take a ball in the middle or back of the lineout.few and far between.Hinens and doc are very good at getting up fast and early at the front where as awj gets up higher in the middle or at the back.All that being said the two best locks are poc and awj shaw hasn't a hope of starting any test [/QUOTE]
