[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1179941, member: 73144"] Agree with the first para. Don’t want to see Smith at FB, even in an emergency. He’s still only got 2 seconds experience there and while he’s skilful and brave he still ended up looking like roadkill after the previous experiment. Just no to Manu on the wing - he wasn’t quick enough a decade ago. Plus we’ve been exposed defensively out wide and even at his peak Manu’s defensive discipline in the sense of holding position was questionable. If a wing goes down with Manu on the bench the only semi sensible, and still far from ideal, option feels like Furbank to wing, Slade to FB and Manu to centre. Also worth noting that France have gone 6:2 in every match while we’ve gone 5:3. Given their power and that we’ve lost CCS, wonder if there will be a temptation for 6:2 as well. And finally. In the all important Wattbike news Chessum is the new squad watt meister having been barely able to beat Borthwick a year ago, [/QUOTE]
