[QUOTE="McTallshort, post: 979357, member: 53362"] There are plenty of Flankers down the years who could have been successful backs. Fergus Slattery was the 2nd quickest player in the 1974 Lions team behind JJ Williams Tom Croft could play 2nd row, flanker and was quick enough to be on the wing. Tim Rodber was another who had the flat out pace of a back. Backs to forwards, the only one who springs to mind is JPR Williams who was hard as nails and often trained with the forwards just for shits and giggles. There was also John Eales who as well as playing second row also took the place kicks for Australia. [/QUOTE]
