[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1020988, member: 73144"] You’d prefer more Ford & Farrell?? Lions locks will be v difficult. AWJ’s race is run at that level, but with SA you’ve got to fight fire with fire and I’d be inclined towards starting tests with more powerful locks. The likes of Kruis (if form can be proven) and Launch. Gray’s impressed me quite a bit too. Henderson perhaps. Frankly the lock playing best on the domestic scene definitely fits that mould - Attwood. Big unit, looks fit, not a big believer in taking backward steps and has definitely added some skills. As purely horses for courses selections I can absolutely see Itoje or Lawes starting tests at 6. And possibly the v physical Underhill at 7. [/QUOTE]
