I see your point but my concern would be an injury to Dowes or Cusack.
I don't think we should be picking the squad based on potential injuries, especially when we have enough players who can cover for pretty much any eventuality within the squad. In the squad I suggested, we have Dowes, Cusack, Thackray, Radford and possibly Manu and Burnett who coud play prop. If we did have to move one of the back-rowers, we have Berrigan, Houghton, Yeaman and G Horne who could all cover there if necessary. I can see why you wouldn't want to be risking it, but I feel we'd benefit more from Washbrook getting a bit more time than from giving the props 20-30 minutes extra rest between them.
