[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1116452, member: 73144"] Suspect Willis would wear 6 but you could almost look at them as left and right. Back in the day the open side was often pretty small like Back or Robinson. Not the case now. Willis and Pearson are both 1.90 and 17/18 stone. Currys and Underhill are all pretty solid too if not quite as tall although still over 6’. Open sides can now carry well in heavy traffic and hit hard without really sacrificing their breakdown work. This gives a bit more flexibility without putting all the eggs in one basket. Numbers on shirts do matter, but in the back row at least with our current stock the case for utility players can be made. [/QUOTE]
