I don't really know what the protocol would be if a front rower was to go down in the warm-up but there must be one since for so many years we travelled without any cover there.My guess would be that since Scotland isn't exactly the other side of the world the England squad will still travel with the bare 6 front rowers with the A squaders on standby to travel at a moment's notice in the very unlikely event that someone went down. It seems like a risk but like I say, it's essentially what we've done for years now. There'll be some kind of system in place to deal with that eventuality.</blockquote>
