[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1041394, member: 13739"] I wonder if Pivac would be tempted to test Holmes at 15 in this series. Holmes has been one of the standout Welsh performers of late and I know he's got experience at fullback. I feel like it's a potential problem position for us in the medium term with both Halfpenny and Sanjay at the tail end of their careers. Lloyd is an exciting prospect for sure, but his long term future could be at 10 (Pat Lamb seems to think so). Amos has moments of class but is flaky and hasn't pushed on from his early promise for Dragons. Like I said, Protheroe to me looks ideal. Pace to burn, brave in the tackle, and as an ex 10, can slot into the line as a second playmaker. Michael Collins could be an option, but needs to prove himself for the O's first. The other options are McNicholl, Matthew Morgan and Jordan Williams - all of which have too many glaring holes in their games for my liking (still gutted Jordan Williams hasn't fulfilled his massive potential). So Holmes could certainly be a good option to test out. Not sure if I've seen enough of his kicking and positioning play to make a full judgement, but he'd certainly be a handful ball in hand!
