[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1034773, member: 73144"] I’m going to be very disappointed if we don’t get a proper look at Dombrandt, Smith and Devoto in the summer. Those are all playing consistently well in problem positions. Never been Mercer’s biggest fan, but he’s playing out of his skin right now. Very impressive. Ship has sailed for the moment, but feels like he’s giving Jones a bit of a 2 fingered salute. Isiekwe must also get some game time - as a lock. If there are any consistently better in the air at kick offs and line outs it’s not many. He’ll never be an a Itoje occasional 10/10 type but feels like he’s developing more into a Kruis - very solid, low error count, not entirely sure what does, but teams seem to be better with him in - type. Even if he has lost a bit of weight to play 6 for Saints he’s still a very big bloke and incredibly athletic. That Sarries invariably found a way to include him while having Itoje, Kruis and Skelton on the books spoke volumes and he’ll have learned so much from a year in a different culture including a v rough period and a different style of play.
