[QUOTE="Goodey, post: 841855, member: 69270"] Assuming Billy starts, Wood was getting picked ahead of Hughes in the autumn as a flanker so I expect if Itoje goes back into the second row (unlikely with the way Lawes and Launchbury are playing) I think we'd still see Hughes on the bench. Haskell is the second carrier in the back row, and having all three (BV, Hughes, Haskell) in there looks overly heavy and unbalanced. Looking back at the AIs, our team vs Argentina had Te'o and Slade as 22/23 so that's not to be ruled out if Watson isn't fit. Slade came on for Brown in that game. [/QUOTE]
