[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 948959, member: 73592"] He's had a very good season for Bath; and he also has an olmpic silver medal - so his ability to translate his game to the top level is not in question. He's behind May, Daly, Watson, Nowell, and Coka on the wing, and behind Watson and Brown at FB (my jury still being out on Daly there) - but yes, I'd have him as the next man behind that lot 9bearing in mind my bias). Yes, he'll be 28 at the RWC - so right in his physical peak - not quite sure I understand why this would be a count against him; it's not like he's been overlooked for the last 8 years or anything. I'm not saying I'd take him to the RWC barring injury; but he's done enough to deserve a shot (as have several others, but it's not like there's a huge amount to chose between say McConnochie, Thorley & Solomona). IF he gets some time in the warm-ups, and shows well, why shouldn't he get a shot? He's there as a potential bolter and a back-up plan, not as a first choice starter in a RWC knock-out match.
