[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1164462, member: 73144"] I agree with the sentiment, but it takes individual players a good few matches over an extended period (real proper game time, not bench cameos) to get properly up to speed with the international game let alone to form the essential understanding that comes from regularly playing in an established unit. Sometimes I think we don’t concentrate enough on the units. Borthwick will need the courage of his convictions to largely settle on a team / squad that can develop together over the medium term. As you know we don't totally agree on Martin, but either way he has a part to play and I'm not going to be remotely surprised if we see a lock type at 6 whether that's Martin, Chessum or Itoje.
