[QUOTE="shazbooger, post: 268479"] To be honest there arent many you would miss too much. I'm not sure if Murray was ever going to make the test side and while Ferris would have been there or there abouts, Croft was always Sky's favourite and that means a lot. Shank's and Halfpenny wouldnt have made any difference over other players already sitting on the bench. O'Leary and Flannery were the biggest losses in my opinion. O'Leary would have offered the physicality of Philips (close to it) but has better distribution. At worst he would have offered a real alternative at scrumhalf. Flannery would have been a shoe-in for the test side. The form hooker in the NH. He is probably the biggest loss. Boks have their players missing too though. If's and Buts work both ways. [/QUOTE]
