[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1118254, member: 13739"] Impact off the bench is rubbish if the game is done before half time. We need forwards who can carry the ball and we have a few available in Carre, Brown, Rhys Davies and Tshiunza (Wainwright too in a different way). Beard just needs dropping from the squad imo, guy offers nothing apart from maul defense. Not sure he even took a single lineout ball v Ireland either! Better to shift Tshiunza forwards to the row allowing an extra backrow replacement than include Beard on the bench who can't impact much of anything. I saw Graham Price mentioned Beard's lack of physicality in his article on WoL today, finally! Felt like I was going mad with the universal praise of Beard from WoL, like I was watching a different game! We despirately lack dynamism to get us over the gainline and generate quick ball. Start with the dynamic players, then bring the steady players off the bench. Gatland did just this in 2019 with Anscombe and Biggar. Far easier to hold onto a lead than recover from a poor start.
