[QUOTE="DuncTheDoodle, post: 281378"] Fair enough about the arrogance, then. I'll take that back. However, in terms of future prospects for the 10 or 15 slot, I'd order then Tovey>Evans>Owen>Biggar. Biggar is clearly a faster developer than Gareth Owen, and but give him a year and Owen should be making major in-roads. Tovey reads the game better than the others, and is also an excellent kicker, passer and defender. Evans is good in defence as well, but Biggar isn't that hard to get past, and doesn't seem to be showing signs of improvment. All of them can kick well enough, but in almost every part of the game, Tovey pips the others. He is the future, no matter what positon the slot him into. (Henson was originally a 10, but is now playing at 12 or 13, and occasionally 15. Or 'Was'.) But, anyway, nothing can be done about Biggar's selection now, and if he's the one challenging Hook at the moment, then it's him that we should be focusing on, not the one who I'd tip to challenge him in a year or two. Should be a good game, and the lack of Patternson means Edinburgh have automatically lost a good 6 points. The Ospreys might stand a chance here. [/QUOTE]
