[QUOTE="BPM, post: 857864, member: 59968"] I agree with this to a point, but the only ones taken from the U20s that haven't played are Cokanasiga and Ben Curry. Ben was due to be on the bench ahead of Tom for the Barbarians game but pulled out with a back spasm. It's possible, he's still struggling with an injury. If not, he's just unlucky that Underhill's also on tour and hopefully, he's still had the chance to impress in training. I think there's a chance Cokanasiga is not considered ready. Admittedly, I've only seen a few of his LI games but watching him in the U20 6N, his positioning in defence and ability under a high ball were at best questionable. Re. your comment on continuity in the style of play, I wonder if Brophy-Clews playing at 12 is an attempt to develop a similar dual playmaker set-up as we have with Ford and Farrell? [/QUOTE]
