[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1096573, member: 59968"] What’s Marler done to ‘shoot himself in the foot’? He was always highly unlikely to tour Australia and the RWC squads can now have an extra front row player so there’s no need to compromise on someone who can supposedly play both sides. Dolly and Ewels both have serious knee injuries and not too much time to recover. While they’re missing, other players have time to establish themselves. If Chessum and Isiekwe get opportunities and go well in the AIs and 6N, I don’t see Ewels getting back in. I don’t disagree that Dolly is probably Eddie’s preference, but based upon similar injuries like Obano’s, Willis’ or even worse Polledri’s, he’ll do well to be playing in a year. Like you, McGuigan would be my preference, but not making the Australia tour suggests that’s very unlikely. [/QUOTE]
