[QUOTE="Peat, post: 672769, member: 42330"] If Nowell's gained speed that's very happy news. The one criticism I had of him at international level was he didn't really look fast enough to take advantage of all the space he was being given at times. If he's changed that, then he's probably the strongest tackler and one of the strongest in the air and with his boot. I'm not sure on his defence (i.e. positioning) but none of them really cover themselves with glory there. I don't care if he's playing full-back, if anything that's great, Lancaster clearly wants at least one winger who can slot into full-back if needed. No longer needing a specialist 15 on the bench would also be great. [/QUOTE]
