[QUOTE="Geordie, post: 1109324, member: 71380"] Im not sure size is the "be all" at 12. Power and strength helps yes..but its about having an all round game...and the ability to be an extra flanker. Its why ive always said if only Sam Simmonds had focused on 12. Imagine him with his power and speed, but with developed Hands and kicking ability. Brad Barritt was a massively effective 12 for Saracens..not a monster. Its all about how you want your backline set up. Where you want your creative pivots and where you want your power options...and of course whats available. [/QUOTE]
