[QUOTE="BPM, post: 913489, member: 59968"] I don’t disagree with any of the points you’ve made here, but I’d argue that there weren’t a great deal of alternatives to Robshaw and Haskell under Lancaster’s tenure apart from Tom Wood who also saw plenty of game time despite being a shadow of the player he was prior to his foot injury. As I recall, the other go-to options for Lancaster at the time were the likes of Tom Johnson and Phil Dowson. Good club players but somewhat shy of test class. Injury really robbed us of the best 6 and 7 we had in Croft and Rees both of whom might have been our own centurions in other circumstances. [/QUOTE]
