[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 586969, member: 12190"] Imo Kvesic is on a VERY fast upwards trajectory and will be the preferred option at 7 within a year(unless Fraser keeps improving at the same rate); but at the risk of sounding a broken record, he's not quite there yet and even if he is the best openside, that doesn't automatically make him the best option at 7. I think there's a massive danger of the Wood-Robshaw partnership being scapegoated because of our six nations failure, whereas in my opinion recent England vs Argentina and Lions vs Australia matches have been a pretty clear indication of what England lacked most in that wales game: 1) A BEN MORGAN! 2) AN ALEX CORBISIERO! With Morgan at 8, and Robshaw and Wood on the flanks, I think we've looked very good. The balance between Robshaw and Wood is pretty good in my opinion, with both being able to pull their weight at the breakdown. This is backed up by having am mobile and athletic pack who are busy at the breakdown. The occasion when it clearly wasn't right was Johnson at 6 and Robshaw at 7. i guess what I'm saying is that whilst I'm massively excited by the idea of having proper 7's, I don't think there's any real reason to panic and rush Kvesic into a starting bearth.
