[QUOTE="Roady26, post: 985540, member: 82737"] I guess PStD is kind of an exception though he is so lean and mobile and such a master at shi*t-housery that I class him as an out and out 6. I'm not really a fan off Barrett for NZ at 6 either. Lawes' failings at the breakdown and lack of mobility in 16/17 was amplified by the fact we had quite a slow pack and no proper openside but I would have thought 18 showed that he just isn't the right fit for England there. We have so much class coming through all across the backrow that I don't see the point in having him there. I still rate Lawes and with Kruis leaving then why not put him in the 2nd row and play a proper backrow - doesn't make any sense. If he has to cover 6 to see out a game because of injuries or something then that's different but we should move on from trying him there now when there are exciting option coming through. [/QUOTE]
