[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 1007611, member: 50079"] Absolutely, I will like our chances in Europe if we can step up in a few positions. We can field a pretty monstrous pack now with plenty of back three options and a bit of hope at half backs. I would still worry about the creativity of our centres. De Allende has been great for us and has already set up some very nice tries, but I would like to see a guy like Crowley groomed as an alternative ball playing 12. We will see how DDA gels with Farrell, but I worry there will be some Ireland syndrome whereby with two physical centres we revert to type and try to go through teams. Early signs from the season have been that we're trying to play some ball, offloading way more and persisting with holding onto the ball even when it doesn't initially work. Our forwards in particular have been passing a lot more and to greater effect. The true test will be whether we persist with a more expansive game against quality opposition. [/QUOTE]
