[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 561945, member: 38640"] In fact some would argue having a big crash baller at 12 is becoming the preferance, with the thought that you often need quick hands to give wingers the space, with the big ball runners giving the 1st 5/8th an easy option under pressure. It's probably become the trend with New Zealand having Ma'a Nonu, Wales having Jamie Roberts, South Africa with Jean de Villiers/Francois Steyn. I don't see any problems with Tuilagi playing 12 and someone like Bryan O'Driscoll at 13 (or the other way around). Depending who the Aussies midfield is - you may want to even go Roberts/Tuilagi for just an insane midfield. Tuilagi playing in the backrow is obsurd in a Lions tour. You have the best backrows in four countries, why would you pick someone who isn't a backrow and doesn't have the game for it there? [/QUOTE]
