Same. Presumably he had more secure options outside of rugby.

Launchbury or Clegg would be good pick ups for you. Big and mobile blokes.
Well, exactly. But there wasn't much we could do to change the Leicester game with personnel. :D
Could have put Hammond on at 6 and thrown some extra weight at the rucks. Could have started looking for drop goal opportunities. Quins had more possession and territory but couldn't get past getting done over at the breakdown. Maybe lacking a bit of a plan B though that may have been kick and compete at the lineout but Quins didn't get much joy there either.
And then, what? Sacrifice Kenningham or Evans? Or move one of them to 8? Not sure that was the option.

Wasn't working with two opensides so sacrifice one and gamble?

I think Kenningham is more of a 6.5 than a 7. He's pretty much the heir to Robshaw.

Very much so. Bit taller so could potentially become a very good third jumper which could be the key to his international future.
