[QUOTE="chippieolamus, post: 774474, member: 71374"] I know Watson plays 15 more often than Nowell, but I feel in terms of their skillets Nowell is very suited to 15 whereas Watson might be better placed on the wing. Nowell's footwork and strength mean he'll generally bust the first tackle when running from deep, something which Brown does very well, and I'm not sure he has the out and out pace for an international wing. His defence is also good. On the other hand Watson seems like a winger to me, with his natural finishing ability and pace. Here's where I sort of wish the RFU had more control over the clubs and could tell Exeter to play Nowell at 15 so we can see how he goes there. [/QUOTE]
