[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1006178, member: 73144"] With the back row talent we have there is now precisely no reason to play a lock in the back row. There is also precisely no reason to play Curry at 8 as he isn’t one. Forget all that guff about numbers on shirts not mattering; players have to be multi skilled but each position has its own nuances which are brought more sharply into focus as the calibre of opposition increases. There is also precisely no reason to start Binny on form grounds. He admits to motivation problems and has been living off reputation for too long. This is Italy. Call it arrogant if you like but they’re awful. Does the ***le matter in such a disjointed season? Not really, this is about the future although we ought to get a BP win regardless. Of the players we have available Earl plays fairly regularly at 8, let’s start him there with Curry at 7. At 6 Underhill is never a bad call, but with a smallish 8 there’s a good argument for Hill. But I’d go for Willis. A bit experimental but this isn’t the ABs or the Boks. [/QUOTE]
