[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 628569, member: 34990"] Agreed and agreed - think Farrell is quite underrated in as much as everyone likes to slag him off all the time when he does very little wrong. The media like to talk him up, and he's probably had a slightly easier ride because of his surname, but he's generally a good player and is improving. Agree that he looks better with a distributing 12 and it's no coincidence that as 36's confidence has grown, Farrell has looked better. Would be very interested to see what he's like with Eastmond at 12. Very much looking forward to the summer tour, now. I'm not expecting us to win the tour, or probably any match, but it'll be interesting to see how the team grows as going to NZ is the arguably biggest test for any side. The way it's shaping up it'll be a Saints/Sarries Aviva final, so we'd be without (from the presumed touring side): Corbisiero, Hartley, Lawes, Wood, Mako, Binny, Farrell, Wigglesworth, Dickson, Ashton, Foden, Burrell, Goode, Myler, Barritt ((Kruis and Dickinson from the Saxons)). Would put us with a 23 of something like: 1. Marler, 2. Youngs 3. Cole/Wilson 4. Launchbury 5. Attwood 6. Johnson/Kvesic/A.N.Other 7. Robshaw 8. Morgan 9. Care 10. Ford 11. Take your pick 12. Twelvetrees 13. Tuilagi 14. Take your pick 15. Brown 16. ??? - Webber? Ward? George? Cowan-Dickie? 17. ??? - Mullan? 18. Wilson/Cole/Thomas 19. ??? - Parling? Slater? 20. ??? - Johnson/Kvesic/A.N.Other? 21. ??? - Youngs?! 22. ??? - Need to take another 10. 36 Can't cover it vs All Blacks, and luckily Goode will probably be away. Hill? Cipriani? 23. Take your pick. [/QUOTE]
