[QUOTE="Peat, post: 799760, member: 42330"] Clifford doesn't look like he works hard enough to be a 6. Maybe Vunipola's work rate would rescue him, but I don't see who there really clears that first ruck again and again like Jones wants. The big question is whether to move Itoje back. I think it makes for a better team short term, but long term, I want England to aim for a tight 5 that is always dominant in the set-piece and where every player plays in the loose like a back row. That would be a huge advantage. And that means keeping Itoje as a lock I think. Reckon Launch/Itoje would be a better pairing than Kruis/Itoje though. [/QUOTE]
