[QUOTE="Patchey, post: 661875, member: 61403"] Yeah I know, but there is Kvesic, Wallace, Kruis and Fraser all younger and in the Saxons. A few guys from the 20s or who've recently left the 20s who look handy as well. I'm not saying he's old or past it (Robshaw was older when he was picked in 2012) but it seems that he's in a bit of a middle ground, stuck between younger guys who are maybe fancied a little bit more as future prospects and older guys with more club and country experience. I'd like to see him and Garvey given a try out, but realistically I don't think that'll happen before the World Cup. Again, some of Lancaster's more conservative selections are biting us in the backside here as we have too many options to try in too little time. As you've mentioned before, albeit about backs I think it was, there are a lot of players lining up for their 'chance' and we probably will miss out because we can't give them all that chance.
