[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 985161, member: 72520"] Agree with everything that you’ve said BPM, it’s in no way necessary for an 8 to be as large as Binny and someone of Earl’s size (is he really 110kg? Every stat I’ve seen is more around the 102kg mark and he looks closer to that size IMO) is perfectly capable of fulfilling the role of an international 8, but to accommodate an 8 of that size you need a significantly bulkier/more ball-carrying focused flanker pairing than Curry-Underhill. If Earl starts at 8 then (of the current squad) you need Hill at blindside to assist with the back row carrying responsibilities. [/QUOTE]
