[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1184302, member: 73144"] I guess the point is that there’s a huge gap behind an ageing George if we assume that LCD struggles to regain full form. It’s not so much about who’s 7th or 8th choice, but who’s the immediate succession plan for both 2 and 16? Dan looks to be the chosen man but despite some obvious strengths is far from a complete option. Lot of good club players, but unproven or flawed at the higher level. No-one who we could say with confidence that they’d be fine if we had to chuck them into a game with France, the Boks, NZ or Ire. And Scotty didn’t even mention one of our hookers at last year’s RWC 😀. I haven’t always agreed with the treatment of Walker over time although I do agree with SB’s conclusion that he falls a little bit short at that level. [/QUOTE]
