Harry would do better than Young. But he won't do better than Jack.
Jack, like his father, is excellent at using his body. Young, and to a lesser extent Harry, rely on their height, and have poor body on body work. Add to the fact that Jack is the only one that is of use once the ball hits the ground too.
But the most important factor in all of this....Harry is recovering from injury, a knee injury at that. The last thing you want him to be doign is pushing/shoving/jumping in the ruck.
Jack, also will be recovering from a knee injury, but he wouldn't be one of our top 2 targets up forward like Harry is. We can 'sacrifice' jack.
TDK as #1 ruck is not ideal.
Harry as #2 ruck is not ideal.
I doubt it will be enough to make us lose the game...but it certainly isn't going to be a positive.
