[QUOTE="Peat, post: 547238, member: 42330"] Without knowing the lad, really can't say whether it's good for him or not, but he had to take on that responsibility sooner or later. It's unusually young for a fly-half, true, but so far it's stood more to his favour than not in my opinion. I certainly don't think he's looked short on confidence; in general, I'd say he's a very confident player. He gets flustered, but he continues to back himself. Normally I'm happy to talk up Wallace's defence, but I've seen a few more slips from him than I like - and while he's good, Marshall is a beast. It's a good choice to have to make though. In the background is by far the best way to play Saracens. They have their moments, but mostly they are utter tripe in terms of entertainment. Take every cliche about boring unskilled England rugby and you're basically there. As for Allen... if I'm honest, he looks like Ian Whitten mk II to me; bit more natural spark and gas, but basically a very decent and versatile player who unfortunately isn't going to threaten the full strength first team XV at any point. If he has got a chance, I reckon it would be as a winger, as Trimble and Bowe are a lot closer to going than Cave age wise. Also, I think Farrell will unseat Cave, simply because Farrell is a freak of nature. That shouldn't be not rating him though, I rated Whitten and I rate Allen and am happy he's here. Just don't think he's as good as some of the lads we have. [/QUOTE]
