It sounds like we are prioritising picking players with the physical characteristics to fix a problem that isn't really a problem rather than fixing the problems that are problems (scrum and rucks). I recall we had a game against NZ I think it was where the fact we only had 2 jumpers and NZ had 4 meant we may as well give up the lineout, we then went on to win every one of our lineouts and even stole some.As long as we have a 2 who can throw well and 2 or 3 good lineouts options, I think we are ok. Sure, if we can get taller players in then great but I'd rather we'd do that because they improve our game elsewhere and not selected for lineout ability first and foremost.</blockquote>
