[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 566613, member: 13739"] Well, maybe not quite that bad..... I agree he does have his issues, but then so did Biggar in his early days, as well as Matthew Morgan, Priestland and Hook. Maybe this shows that too many 10's come through the system shying away from defence? With regards to Patchell, I personally think the U20's WC will be better for development than going to Japan and playing a couple of tests. The pressure of the WC, along with playing against some very good quality teams (Some are probably stronger than Japan) will show us more. Argentina will be the main threat in the pool, and Scotland aren't a bad team. I would hope we'll have a little too much for both after a strong 6 nations champaign and the introduction of a few players who weren't involved or had limited involvement in the 6 nations (Patchell, Robinson, Ieuan Jones, Amos). Not being in the same pool as NZ, England, Aus, SA, France and Ireland is big though. [/QUOTE]
