[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 633981, member: 57076"] Census Johnston is good in the loose although sometimes "lazy", slow to get up and react. That's one dimension we lose with him out. In the scrum he's basically THE Toulouse Tighthead so there's no way we can afford to lose him but it's a done deal. You guys are over-rating him wayyyy too much for his scrummaging though. He does bring stability to the pack because he's a 1m90 140kg monster, but he's by no means a fantastic scrummager or anything. Toulouse's scrum is its biggest concern and flaw, and Johnston is the starting tighthead. I've seen him in difficulty often there. And no Yohan MontÃ¨s isn't terrible, but he's not going to add that Pac. Isld dimension to the game, and he'll be just about ok I hope in the scrum, which will be his no.1 task. If he can hold up in the scrum at least, and be solid with the tackling and maybe add a tad just a tad in the rucks that's all we can ask of him... [/QUOTE]
