[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1071450, member: 73144"] OHC would definitely be a risk but one worth taking. We’re also now at the stage of balancing immediate results with half an eye on the RWC - I can’t see Daly or Nowell starting on the wing in Fra but OHC just might be. And we’ll learn far more about him in a game like this than scooting around in space v Ita. Ref Atkinson, mainly balance - Slade and Marchant are great in open field but give little oomph in heavy traffic. And Slade v SA notwithstanding they’re both fundamentally 13s. And as you say, Smith’s used to a big 12 - if that’s what brings out the best in him, why would you give him a different set up when he’s stepping up a level? [/QUOTE]
