So therefore a possible starting berth for Mike Williams...?

For someone who had only just come back from a long term injury I thought Williams did OK. I'd have thought he would need another 5/6 matches under his belt before being in the England squad though.

So that's the Vunipola's, Robshaw and possibly Haskell out of the tournament from the forwards. It is going to be a different pack to the all conquering one of the the last year or so.
I would imagine that Itoje will play at 6 with Kruis and Launchbury in the second row. Assuming he gets fit.

Agreed Itoje will move to 6, potentially his best position. I think The Lions will look to play him there, plenty of depth at 2nd row, not so much at 6

I'd rather not be losing Genge thanks though we may well do :smt009 still, we have Marcos filtering back in supposedly, not a bad replacement :smt002
