[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 919654, member: 13739"] Tips is a good stone or two too light to play at 8 internationally. He can slot in at 6, but not 8. Pocock is a good 13kg heavier! I think Tips also lacks the explosive carrying game that an 8 requires. I don't see why we'd try to sheo-horn someone like Tipuric (who's one of the world's best opensides) into a position that doesn't wholly suit him. Moriarty can be a little bit hot headed, but as long as he keeps it in check he's a the best option we have when Faletau isn't available. [/QUOTE]
