[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1124546, member: 74121"] I'm a Kinghorn 15 man all day long. Possibly on the wing next, then at 10. He has been pushed into playing at 10 but Scotland have some decent backup options there with Hastings and Thompson (presumably both injured). I think the modern game demands you play a 15 with good hands and that coaches underestimate the value of that in fullbacks. Guys like Capuozzo can influence a game almost as much as a top level 10, so respect the fullback position and put your top available man there. In this case Kinghorn and Padovani (although Smith shows promise and I can sympathise if Townsend thinks the drop off to Healy is greater than the drop off to Smith). There is something about sticking what I consider an elite 15 at 10 that grinds my gears. I still find myself clenching my teeth any time I see Damian McKenzie at 10 at club level. I don't pretend its rational! :D [/QUOTE]
