[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 672394, member: 67273"] You know what... I know this is all a bit redundant considering it's Manu's position - but JJ has really impressed me recently. I thought he started last season quite slowy, but actually he's been close to a defensive rock and has consistently made good decisions in attack and executed well. I think he's quietly going about his business and improving rapidly. Gonna be really putting his hand up post RWC (which I'm assuming is the first point at which someone other than Manu will be considered). I also wonder whether anyone else has noticed a slight shift back towards tradition r.e.: back rowers? We're getting a lot more players in the traditional specialist back row styles (+ the new breed of 6/4 typified by Itoje/Launch/Kruis) and less of the Clark/Wood generalists. [/QUOTE]
