[QUOTE="Tony Manx, post: 507878, member: 50236"] I understand that Rourre has a lot of respect but I really do wonder where everyone gets the belief that Biarritz has a quality attack? They have not had such for a good number of years....indeed the last I really remember was the one that ripped Leicester apart in the first half of a H Cup game in 2005? Our best back line last year was Balshaw (not been at his best since Lions tour under Henry but not bad), Ngwenya (fabulous but can occasionally be weak in defence), Haylett Petty (a full back) or Bosch (utility player), Traille (brilliant ex-international who just may have lost his hunger), any one of Bolakoro/Burotu/Caprice who all hidden and only play when forced to use them, Perylongue (not a Top 14 fly half although brave and loyal, and Yach. This will change with the inclusion of Brew and berquist but how good are they? My point in saying all this is that the same comments on the individuals can be levelled at the Worcester back line outlined above so good luck with Rourre................every back's coach must have the talent to work with no matter how good he is! Can they improve...yes! Will they....yes! Will they enough to avoid a relegation battle.............maybe! [/QUOTE]
