[QUOTE="Peat, post: 593853, member: 42330"] Yes, and he's a buffoon for having already done so, and that's not even the most of his buffoonery when it comes to his back three. I am cautiously pro-Lancaster at the moment, but that doesn't mean I'm not rather irritated by the misuse of his back three. If he, for example, left out McScotland for Strettle, I would load my pants in rage. I'll take Ashton over Strettle everyday incidentally. One's been an international class winger and may be again, the other never was and never will be. Shame, he had the potential, but it didn't happen, and anyone picking him is a penishoarder. Basically, yeah, he's not a good addition. Had a chance, started ok, never really did it. A guy his size is always going to be physical and produce some good moments, but he isn't outstandingly so. There's a couple of moments stuck in my mind which were basically embarrassing for a guy his size (that Williams tackle one of them). He's not physical enough to play international rugby just on the back of that, and doesn't seem to have enough other wing skills. I kinda like the idea of him as a centre, he's got a great offloading game, but I think he's come to it too late and doesn't have the right thinking. [/QUOTE]
