[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 860911, member: 12190"] Mostly agree with this. If nothing else, Jones has just played too many minutes and looks beat. I'd really like Henderson involved in some way in this next test - when he's in the zone he's a completely beast and we need his physicality out there. But I also agree Lawes is deserving. Personally I'd seriously consider dropping Kruis, not as a punishment or anything because bad games happen, but I think we need to be smarter with the selection. My locks would be Itoje, Henderson and Lawes. Henderson off the bench can also come into the back row and we also know Itoje can switch to play there. For that reason I'd go straight for Tipuric on the bench because he brings entirely different qualities to the starting back row (which I would keep the same, probably) as well as the physicality of Itoje and Henderson. Those are the most straight forward changes. The front row has me really confused right now. Furlong should probably keep the starting spot but I'm less sure about Vunipola. In truth I'm torn between any of the looseheads apart from Dell. I think I'd go with Irish props with George. I don't know about the backs but would like Sexton. I'll have a stab: 1. McGrath 2. George 3. Furlong 4. Itoje 5. Henderson 6. POM 7. SOB 8. Faletau 9. Murray 10. Sexton 11. Daly 12. Henshaw 13. Joseph 14. Watson 15. Williams 16. Owens 17. Vunipola 18. Sinkler 19. Lawes 20. Tipuric 21. Webb 22. Farrell 23. Payne [/QUOTE]
