[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1002700, member: 59968"] Mine would be: - Ben Spencer - Jack Willis - Ben Earl I also think Joe Marchant will cement a place if he gets an opportunity. I would have liked to have gone for Mitchell over Spencer at 9, but I think Spencer is probably the form scrum half in the league while Mitchell’s been no more than OK. Jack Willis will surely get a chance. He’s got everything I want to see in a flanker and I think he’d take to test rugby like a duck to water. It’ll be hard for him to break up the Curry/Underhill combination, but if the former is playing at 8, all three could start. Personally, I’d like to see Ben Earl at 8. He’s had plenty of experience there and as others have said, he brings similar attributes to Simmonds but crucially, Eddie likes him. Whether it’s fair or not is debatable, but I’m not sure that’s the case with Simmonds. Having Earl at 8 with Curry and Underhill or Willis on the flanks would be a very tidy back row. [/QUOTE]
