[QUOTE="BPM, post: 852272, member: 59968"] I'd be interested to get everyone's thoughts on who is likely to enhance their stock in Argentina. Eddie has said his aim is to come away with 3 or 4 new options but I think there's a chance it could end-up being a bit more. I'm hoping Eddie gambles on the flankers and one (or both) of the Currys or Underhill show the beginnings of becoming a genuine option. Personally I think the Currys are the real deal and I think they will show-up well and although it's way too early to confidently predict, I reckon they will make the World Cup squad. I also think Marchant and Solomona will have good tours. With Daly looking increasingly likely to drop in to the back three (hopefully at 15), I think Marchant has a very good chance of establishing himself as JJ's reserve and I think Solomona will outshine May (who he might end-up replacing). I'll be interested to see how we line up. I would assume Care and Ford will be the starting 9/10 combination with Marchant at 13, May and Solomona on the wings and Brown o_O at 15, but 12 is hard to call. On paper, Slade is the obvious choice, but he hasn't had a great season and is on the bench again for Exeter at the moment. Lozowski, James and Francis are all possible options and I think anyone of those could potentially usurp Slade. At prop, I think whoever performs better out of Williams and Collier has a very good chance of forcing their way in to the EPS. Cole and Sinckler are the obvious first and second choices, but Hill's been in poor form and I think Eddie wants a scrummaging tighthead which probably favours the new guys. I'm a Quins fan, but my money is on Williams. [/QUOTE]
