[QUOTE="Yoshimitsu, post: 989925, member: 71899"] In all seriousness. Lawes at 6 worked. His carrying was barely acceptable (doesn't make much but doesn't lose the ball) but clearly his primary purpose was to secure line-out ball. He did that pretty well. Secondary was tackling. Between him and Itoje Ireland got 0 change. That allows Kruistoje to be locks which is their job...... As much as I deride Eddie's plans he just thinks differently about the game... For example who thinks Manu is just a bludgeon? Me previously. But check his breakdown work. He melted Van de Flier on more than one occasion. That first contact at breakdown is critical and 17 stone of angry Samoan (I mean pure bred Englishman) makes a big difference. [/QUOTE]
