[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 1077187, member: 72409"] I'll admit there's been times I've questioned Lawes at 6, but I'd say on top of the fact that his ball carrying has dramatically improved last couple of years, I watched him live for Ulster v Northampton this year, and out of every player on the Northampton team, he looked comfortably a class above everyone else there. He seemed to be operating on a different wavelength with remarkable composure and always made the right decisions, either in attack or defense, and thats why I'd really like him to stay there and continue developing Itoje in the second row gets lambasted for his size, but he's 5kg lighter than maybe ideal, but theres a reason that even when he played blindside in 2017 I think it was? He was still scrummaging at TH Lock, he's remarkably strong and save ball carrying which is a work on for him, he's a magnificent second row, and better than Lawes particularly in the scrum Unsure what Warburton would do instead, as I'd say both the above are ahead of Isiekwe, and comfortably, for now [/QUOTE]
