[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 985280, member: 72520"] I'd agree that if we had a particularly good carrying tight 5 then we wouldn't have to worry so much about carriers in the back row, but we don't. Genge, Vunipola and Sinckler are all good carriers but only 2 of those 3 can be on the pitch at the same time, and I really don't know where the idea that Itoje's a good ball carrier has come from. He's an excellent player but not a dominant ball carrier; certainly no more than the average international lock. Genge/Vunipola and Sinckler are nowehere near good enough to make up for a weak carrying back row by themselves. [/QUOTE]
