You could play any English qualified premiership second row and
I doubt any of them would be worse than Ewels and many better.

I honestly don’t know how he gets selected. He’s not someone you
see making barnstorming carries with grunt, not is he really
that athletic lock that gets around the park like Itoje.

Rightly so as Van Poortvleit isn't quite ready to take over yet.

Is JVP still not proficient enough at knocking on at the base
and throwing passes a foot above the receiver's head?

Talking of vP, I wonder how much Youngs being at tigers is
stalling good development. Quirke has really benefited from Faf
being unavailable and Randall is clear first choice at Bristol.
A season ago I'd have said vP was in the same bracket of future
stars.
