[QUOTE="BPM, post: 938634, member: 59968"] Billy’s been useful without being anywhere near top form, but whether he’s been good enough to justify being an automatic selection is debatable. Even if he’s not carrying particularly well, he does attract defenders but on the other hand, I’d argue we looked better with Wilson at 8 in the AIs (and that was also without Mako or Tuilagi as a carrying options). Assuming we’re playing with a first choice tight 5 and Tuilagi in the centre, I’d be interested to try a back row of Underhill, Curry and Wilson with Billy as an impact sub. It wouldn’t work against all opposition but I think it’s worth looking at if Billy’s form doesn’t improve significantly between now and September. [/QUOTE]
