[QUOTE="FrankfurtRugbyWatcher4, post: 995177, member: 83480"] [USER=53057]@big ginger 8[/USER]: Ryan is the guy I build the remaining selection for second row around. He is the undisputable first choice in my view. Itoje is needed as the only available big #6 in the back row. And I've got doubts about his ability in the engine room. Scrum. He looked awful at the World Cup final there. @TRF Olyy: Lawes is the best player in that list of mine. And I was not the only one here, who did not like him in the back row. I wrote at length about it above. Scrum ability? Only Launchbury is bigger. That's all. And some bulk would mix well with Ryan. But I admid, there is not too much depth or choice. Why reservations about Launchbury? He is quite industrious as well, but he is missing ... call it grit, abrasiveness, enforcer abilities of a Wade Dooley, Paulie O'Connell, or lesser characters like Grewcock. He is missing that completely. So I hope that Lawes is preserving his form. [/QUOTE]
