[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 720027, member: 43400"] Maybe start him at 6, and move him to 8 once he's got a bit more experience in the back row? My concern is the learning curve for playing at 8, particularly with ball control at scrum time, and coordinating play with the scrum half. True, England have a lot of talent in the back row already, but, would a player who can play in the back row and in the centres, be useful at RWC time? I'm mainly thinking of him starting in pool games - the ones you know you're going to win already ... no, not all of them :) Also, he could be useful off the bench ... just a question of if there's room for him in the squad [/QUOTE]
