[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1002827, member: 73592"] Erm - what? If the argument is that Ruaridh switched to XVs a year later than ideal, that he's 28 now and will be 31 for the next RWC; and should be discarded based on age, then... there's a discussion to be had. If the argument is "I just don't like him / think his ceiling is all that high" - then there's a discussion to be had (though I'd like more details). If the argument is "it's a position of strength for us, like backrow; and some very god players are going to miss out" - then there's a discussion to be had. If the argument is that by playing 6 matches out of 7 he doesn't have enough game time; so we should pick someone who's played 5 games out of 7 instead, then... that seems a triffle odd. Thorley and MConnochie are comfortably the form wingers of the restart, and of the season as a whole (though less comfortably there LRZ); Ruaridh has scored tries in every match of this mini-season*; and went to the RWC in Japan. If we're not ruling out Ruaridh and Jonny on the principal of age; then Ruaridh, Ollie, Jonny, Ant, Jack and Elliott should all be in the conversation. At this moment in time, Ant is injured and looking off-form, Elliott and Jonny are out of form. Has Jack done much apart from the wonder try (and what a try!) since the restart? I've not watched much of Exeter these 2 months * ETA: Sorry, except for the first, stuttering match [/QUOTE]
