I can live with this. The only spot I feel a bit uncomfortable is at 14 but can't shut you down because I then considered James Small, Brent Russell, Slaptjips, Hendricks and Breyton Paulse.. none of which I'd say have a clear argument to go in ahead of JPP. If anything I suppose it shows we've had a bit of dry spell on the wing apart from Habana post isolation at least compared relatively with other positions and other nations' wingers.
