[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1102710, member: 59968"] Depends on how Eddie looks at the makeup of the back row. Does he want specialists or does he want versatility? As an 8 who can cover 6 and 7, Mercer could be competing with Ludlam and Earl, but he could also be competing with Billy and Dombrandt. Lawes*, Billy, Dombrandt and Underhill are the least versatile so it could be that Eddie prefers only a couple of those and elects for the versatility the others offer. *Lawes would only ever be a 6 in back row terms and I’m not sure he’s considered a lock anymore TBH?
