[QUOTE="ALJ, post: 849248, member: 74322"] So if you're right, they're only taking 2 FHs. Given that you will need 2 for every single game and Sexton is going to need plenty of recovery time, that doesn't seem to stack up for me. To be fair, they did it in 2013 (although Farrell was one of the two) so perhaps you're right - I just don't see it given the other back options selected. Farrell can play 12 (obviously) but I see Henshaw and Te'o battling for 12, Davies, JJ & Payne for 13 with Daly the floating sub covering a multitude of positions. One thing that's abundantly clear though is that there are a lot of players that can cover more than one position - Could be that's by design for the inevitable injuries, could also be why some of the Scots (among others) lost out on any marginal calls.
