[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 984596, member: 13739"] Yeah, Hill was exceptional in that game v England. It comes down to what we need, and how it complements the rest of the pack. Like you said having Faletau back as a dynamic ball carrier is great, but he's most effective in the wider channels. I think we've lacked those ball carriers which will make metres in the tight, get us on the front foot and generate quick ruck ball for the backs to play off. Ball is probably one of the better players at doing this. Moriarty too, but he'll probably miss out with Faletau back, unless he switches to 6 where there's huge competition. Owens does well bouncing off defenders. But overall I think we're lacking in comparison to Eng, SA etc. Is this part of WGJ's game? He certainly looks physical enough! Is this something Carre could offer going forward from looshead? Hill is a far more intelligent player. Great hands for a second row, picks nice lines on the carry, and offers leadership. He could certainly fit into Pivac's style of play, if we want to move the ball and attack off strike moves. It'll certainly be great to see him back after making huge strides last season. Need another couple of second rows to step up now to really add to the competition. Beard and Seb have both fallen away recently, but both have lots of potential. Not seen enough of Rowlands to comment. [/QUOTE]
