[QUOTE="Patchey, post: 661212, member: 61403"] I think if Hooper did magically become English and had, for the sake of argument, come through the ranks of Quins or Glos, he'd be in the same boat as Kvesic. A really good, young seven in the more traditional mould who hasn't got the chance to prove himself properly internationally. He'd certainly be in the EPS and touring but short of injury I can't see, going on what Lancaster has done with back row selection before, any reason for him to be more successful at breaking through than Kvesic. As you say, going on what the coaches [B]say [/B]they want then he'd be selected but they spent two years talking about a playmaker in the centres before picking one! Completely agree about the bulking up thing. And of course Kvesic came back looking a lot bigger at the start of this season for Glos. I haven't seen any photos of him from pre-season this summer but I wouldn't be surprised if he is looking bigger again. [/QUOTE]
