[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 1060799, member: 39240"] Well on comments re JGP. If he is very poor against top tier teams then maybe he isn't answer and shouldn't be key. Also Lowe and I will include Conway. You say their skillsets are key. But it can be argued we still don't know is Lowe defensively up to it to even be in squad as based on URC the answer is No as teams have targeted him there and got some success. And that is not saying Murray or Zebo or Stockdale is answer. The fact is no skillset was really put to test yesterday. And on our style or intent. We have seen Schmidt teams, Kidney teams and O'Sullivan teams do similar jobs against similar opposition in similar style in the past. So we can only truly take progress if we do genuinely try it in some shape or style against top teams. If we do try mix it next week and loose in a competitive game that to me would be encouraging. If we revert to old personnel and style and loose heavy then it seems it is another era that hasn't learned from previous eras. [/QUOTE]
