Someone suggested Croker to 6 in Schuster’s absence. I think if Lawton played at 9, you’re potentially strengthening both positions. A better service from dummy half with a similar defensive effort, and stronger defence in the 6 position.* Schuster could go back into the back row.
*I also thought Johns improved as the game went on. I like how he attempted to stop their second try scorer from bringing the ball round towards the posts, unlike most of his teammates who just watch on, once the opposition player crosses the goal line.
