[QUOTE="Scotty, post: 1002831, member: 74100"] McConnechie i rate as a good player and on good form and not against him getting in but i dont think he will ever be England's first choice winger, not because of age but because of other options and i dont think he will ever get much better than he is now. He is a very good balanced runner who put in abit of space can make ground and finish tries. Positionally and defensively sound but i just dont get the feeling that on an international stage he can be a world beater but i think in the future Joe can with work to his game. Right now McConnechie is above him even when he is fit but id rather keep the trusted may nowell watson(who in my opinion are above McConnechie) and focus on someone with future potential. On all account McConnechie is agreat guy though like a really nice genuine person (just saying this and not making a point out of it) Big Joe is a freak, as quick as the fastest bath players and big, he has a class offload too. Could potentially have a huge ceiling. He is very raw and needs to work on his defensive game and other aspects to reach his potential(as May did) but if he is playing well for bath and stays fit i can see him quite easily over taking McConnechie in the race for the next RWC. I dont like talking about credit in the bank because it shouldnt work like that but we also dont want a big overhaul. I havnt ruled out May on age but i agree thorley is on better form and looks a constant danger. Nowell does actually do quite alot and has a very good workrate. Honestly no idea on Watson but the lack of FB options he needs to be in the conversation. For this autumn as wingers id take. May Nowell Watson and Thorley or McConnechie. Leaning towards Thirley because he is also on good form and believe has alot more to offer in the future. [/QUOTE]
