That's why he's never played regularly in the backrow in every level bar test rugby... :rolleyes: Anyway, it'll be Haskell at 6 and Lawes on the bench. for that is the way things are. [/b][/quote] I saw him recently at 6 (last week in the GP?) and was surprised at how clunky he was. No way he'll make it at international level in that position - doesn't have the basic speed + not a quick thinker at the breakdown. In fairness I haven't seen alot of his play. Seems to me that straight charging is his phenomenal strength, rather than haring across the pitch, and I suspect Johnson has big plans for him in that role. Whichever way it goes, pray he doesn't turn into another England flash in the pan. [/QUOTE]
