[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 1004635, member: 72520"] Personally don’t think Earl is quite powerful enough to really be a starting 8 option at international level but Simmonds I agree with. Despite being much smaller than Dombrandt I actually think he does much more damage in the high contact areas due to his relentless leg drive while Dombrandt runs much better lines so does better where defenders are slightly more scarce. I rate Earl very highly but think his caps will have to either come at 7 or more likely, as a specialist 20 who can cover all 3 back row slots to a high standard off the bench. [/QUOTE]
