[QUOTE="Geordie, post: 696745, member: 71380"] Well Ben Morgan aint a bad carrier in fact he was outstanding this AI. And now he looks fitter...looks like he can perform to that level consistently the 8 spot should be his for years....ability wise he is way ahead of Billy in my opinion. I would also say that whilst I have been hugely critical of Lancaster not selecting carriers...many haven't brought their game to this level. Ie Joe Marler is a terrific carrier at Prem and European levels....yet we never see a jot of it for England...likewise Hartley. Davy Wilson has a crazy turn of speed on the hoof...but how often do we see them pin their ears back. Who do we have in the pack area...who play in Prem teams that are top class performers who can also carry? There isn't actually many. Garvey at 6 for Bath? Haskell at 6 / 7 for Wasps? [/QUOTE]
