[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1071433, member: 59968"] The Scottish back three is pretty good and I’m not sure throwing OHC in to a debut test at Murrayfield is a good idea - even more so if the conditions are poor. I don’t think he’s likely to be able to play to his strengths and the weaker aspects of his game would be exposed. While I’d much prefer to see Marchant at 13, but I wouldn’t be that surprised to see him used out wide - he’s defensively excellent and is handy under the high ball. Assuming he’s not used on the wing, I’m curious as to why would you prefer Atkinson over Marchant? Atkinson offers size and is a similar kind of 12 to what Smith is used to at Quins. However, I think in all other respects, Marchant is a far superior player who has always looked good when he’s had chances with England. [/QUOTE]
