[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 922940, member: 56738"] Assuming you go with a 5-3 split (& 2 of those three are obvs gonna be scrum half and outside half) you're never going to be able to cover every back position fully (unless you have an Elliot Daly who can play centre, wing and 15). Therefore you can never cover every eventuality... 'but' Patchell would clearly be my FB cover but also 12 depending on needs and musts. North could be brought inside for Fox if required (though I would clearly hope not). If a wing were forced off (or inside as I've suggested above) Sanjay could be moved out with Patchell (or Anscombe in fairness) would step on to full back. Additionally, if Lloyd Williams could fill in on the wing under exceptional circumstances during the world cup, I would assume that Anscombe would be able to at least 'do a job' there too depending on how the cards fell.
