[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 886028, member: 34990"] He's never, ever, going to be an international lock though. He's just not that good there. I'd rate him maybe 3rd best lock at Sale (and we don't have amazing locks). His best position is 8, comfortably. Maybe he won't play there internationally but when you look at the logjam at 2nd row, he's probably got a better shot at 8 considering how injury prone the England 8s are and how good Beaumont has played there in the past. I mean England are going to have to leave one of Lawes, Kruis, Launchbury, Itoje out of the first choice 23 - Beaumont isn't on the same level as any of those. If he gets his form back and performs at 8 consistently it's better to be constantly knocking on the door of selection than be lost in the midst of average EQP locks in the prem. [/QUOTE]
