[QUOTE="Peat, post: 775720, member: 42330"] Posts merged Marler has 37 caps, Cole has 52, Lawes has 42 and Launchbury has 28; that's not a tight five with barely any caps at all regardless of who you put at hooker (with Vunipola, Wilson, Parling and Attwood all being deputies with 20 or more caps). Flowerpot Men also have over 20 each plus there's a ton of experience available at blindside. I'm not going to get too sucked into Hartley arguments until it's confirmed, but the argument that we're so short of experience in the pack that we have to cling to the experienced options at hooker regardless of the quality of the players involved strikes me as a little weak. Also, I'm really not sure why you think this is merely interim. [/QUOTE]
