He's been very good under Jones but at the minute Launchbury and Kruis would be the first choice second row and you can't really leave out Itoje. Good problems to have in any case.
we are missing Kruis enormously - which is no disrespect to those playing in his place, simply a very, very good player. I think Robshaw and Hartley will be replaced in time but good to have them around. Most of the Times journalists have George down as starting hooker for the Lions let alone England - as you say, good problem to have
