Tom Curry playing 8


Diamond told RugbyPass: “I haven’t had any conversation with Eddie about Tom playing No8 and he won’t play at No8 for us.
“Tom has a very good skills set but his best position is six or seven… but you have to remember I’m a mere minnow in the world of coaching. I have only seen this guy playing six or seven for the last three years!

“The irony of it is this is that if your team gets to the final of a World Cup and the best player in that team is Tom Curry – for example – then why would you play him out of position?

Tom Curry playing 8

You sure it's not Jono Ross?

IDK going off your twitter feed.

Ben came on for Dan but I'd be surprised if Jono didn't go back to 8, it was his main position before he joined us and he's played a reasonable amount there for us too

Jono packing down at 8

Webber plz come home

 

[Reiser99]

Why put a Curry at 8, when they do that?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Why put a Curry at 8, when they do that?

Is there something stopping a 8 from doing that in defence?
Vermeulen is excellent over the ball.

They're playing 6/7, Ross is at 8

(Unless you meant EJ, in which case: who knows)

 

[Reiser99]

Is there something stopping a 8 from doing that in defence?

No, but I'd like him to be played in a position that focuses on his strengths, rather than trying to turn him into something he's not.

 

[Reiser99]

They're playing 6/7, Ross is at 8

Was more a philosophical question than literal.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

ewww Eddie is a texans fan

 

[Groundhog]

Ooowoooh AJ McGintyyyy

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Lovely to see.

Nice for us to get a win it looked like we deserved rather than pure luck.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Dunno how tf we got a point from that

Maybe buying in a ton of South Africans was a bad idea, they were all, to a man, crap.

 

[BPM]

Marcus Smith + Pressure do not mix well at all

That is utter rubbish.

Glad you all wrote Quins off.

 

[unrated]

**** **** this sucks balls. FML my premiership team loses I switch over to Barca vs Bayern and they are also being smashed. Time for the Vodka.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That is utter rubbish.

You watch the second half?
Panicked whenever the defence got in his face and aimlessly kicked away

Quins were comfortably better but that doesn't mean he was 100% for 80 mins
