[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 486799, member: 55446"] On the other hand, an injury to any of Palmer, Botha or Parling would see Launchsbury or Croft involved as the next-in-line. After strong performances by Garvey and Robson for the saxons, it seems a little odd to take this risk. EDIT: Actually, I might be losing track of who is in the wider squad. Isn't Attwood already involved in the England set-up as injury cover? (So he now moves up to the main squad as a replacement for Lawes and Lancaster then picks 3 for his 22 out of Attwood, Parling, Palmer and Botha.) If this is the case, then Launchsbury will only play any real part if there's an injury to two of our locks and with only 2 games left to go, I guess it's reasonable to reckon this won't happen (and if it does, I reckon Lancaster might even use Croft as an emergency replacement there). So I guess Launchsbury makes sense when you think of it like that. Good call I guess. [/QUOTE]
