[QUOTE="BPM, post: 845446, member: 59968"] I hope the move to Chiefs propels Kvesic back in to serious contention. He's a quality player and it sounds as though Baxter has specific plans to get the best out of him as a link player in attack rather than the breakdown specialist he'd become at Gloucester. Baxter knows his onions when it comes to forwards so I'm really hoping it pans out as well as it could. At 24, he's the perfect age to bridge the gap between the younger guys coming through and he'd also help us with transitioning away from a big, ruck-smashing 6.5 to an actual 7 and pave the way for the new guys. Fearns is definitely a squad option, but I think playing in France has added an extra level of hype that I'm not sure he really justifies. If he can live up to the billing, brilliant, but I still think there is a question mark over where he fits in at Gloucester? Moriarty, Rowan and Morgan are now pretty established as a back row unit so I guess a lot will depend on whoever Fisher's replacement thinks ... Moriarty, Fearns and Morgan would be a fearsome carrying unit, but it's not my definition of a balanced back row. [/QUOTE]
