[QUOTE="Booboobang, post: 1163803, member: 86230"] Its not that he is not good as an 8, he very obviously is. But as with Savea, I think his best position is 7. Savea only moved to 8 as NZ was never dropping Cane. I think Earl will be playing 7 for saracens, he should be a starter for England at 7, this isnt a case where he has to change his position because a captain is blocking his spot and as good as he did filling a hole at 8 I dont think we lose anything by playing him at 7, and potentially gain a lot by bringing willis or mercer. Curry is more than good enough to shift to 6 and not drop off, depending on whether borthwick is willing to go away from a second row style 6, if he isnt then yeah Earl probably stays at 8 since in my mind he is pretty undroppable now as curry is.
