[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 909148, member: 73144"] Yeah although he’s only got limited choices available. He’s got the best 6 front rowers, although you could argue that LCD and Williams should start. Wouldn’t make a massive difference. Few would argue with Launch. Itoje was marginally better last week, but still overdue some bench time. Shields must surely be injured. In which case, although I don’t like it, I can just about understand him falling back on the experience card. Esp with a pup at 7. If Shields isn’t injured then it’s time for the men in white coats. Curry’s probably a year or 2 off making a real impact at this level. But he’s gone OK, learnt a lot and will be a better player for it. Pleasure to see the mythical “proper 7” and good that Jones has backed him. Hughes isn’t properly fit, but he’s our only proper 8 and I wouldn’t really want Simmonds going head to head with Duane if he plays. [/QUOTE]
