[QUOTE="Ospreylian, post: 554810, member: 59055"] j'nuh, who is my housemate, just showed me the highlights of the recent Bath v Gloucester game, and some of the stuff Burns did in that game was pure class really. He has such great vision, far better than Farrell or Flood in that sense, and creates opportunities out of nothing - something all the greatest players in the world can do (Shane Williams, Jason Robinson, Brian O'Driscoll, etc.). I've been so angry with the England set-up for not starting Burns over the past season or so. He is the England player I see with the most potential. The next after him with that much potential is probably Morgan, and even Morgan seems to have his doubters in the England coaching set-up occasionally. I've said it time and time again, but I see so much of a Dan Carter-esque style of play in Burns. Yes, there may be certain things he needs to work on, but the only way he will work on those is if he gets given the opportunity to start for his country. Put some faith in a player who has been setting the pitch on fire all season. Just because he is young and inexperienced at international level doesn't mean he will screw up the moment he gets the ball. And while you're at it Lancaster, why can't you put Twelvetrees back in there?? Burns at first receiver, Twelvetrees at second. That's a combo that has been playing some great rugby, week-in, week-out fr Gloucester. Get rid of Ashton, put May in there. Get rid of Brown, put Sharples or JSD in there. Get rid of Goode, put anyone in there! Hmmm... I'm noticing a Gloucester trend here.... no surprise really, when you consider they are one of the closest teams to Wales :P [/QUOTE]
