[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 1114244, member: 72520"] Tshiunza will always be a back rower at Chiefs. Doesn’t fit the mould of what Baxter likes in his locks at all. He’ll be a 7 or, in time, I could see Baxter liking him as a wide-roaming 8. Obviously a very different frame to Simmonds but I could see him filling a similar role. In terms of other youngsters, obviously Fisilau is starting today and looks to be very handy. Capstick is just getting better and better (I already rate him over Kirsten). As I’ve said before, Tuima is finally starting to look the goods. Lewis Pearson has been getting more and more game time and looks solid enough. I also have very high hopes for Ollie Leatherbarrow but he’s a fair way off being ready for the Prem. Combine all of them with the likes of Ewers, Vermeulen and Grondona and I think our back row options look sturdy enough. Aidon Davis is also around somewhere but Baxter doesn’t seem to rate him at all; he’s only gotten Prem Cup games. [/QUOTE]
