He started off as a backrower and then swapped when he had a growth spurt, I'm pretty sure Gatland has posited him before at 6.
He could make a decent backrower. He's athletic and physical, but I would be nervous about him being both captain at international level and trying out a new position at the same time. I suspect we will see either Botham or Basham at 6.
I think Basham gives us an undersized backrow if paired with Reffell on the flank, our pack needs as much weight as possible to try and assist the novice tightheads.

Tho I have a lot of time for Botham so he wouldn't a bad option.
Yeah, it would be a small BR. Botham would make more sense with Basham on the bench.

Or it could be a debutant in Mann.
