[QUOTE="Patchey, post: 553781, member: 61403"] They're probably keeping Ashton to try and teach him to tackle.. If Burns isn't fit I think having 36 as a back up Fly-Half would be a risk and he'd be better used starting in the centers. Of course that poses the question, who is the 10 on the bench? Goode has played their in the past but seems unlikely to be dropped from the starting 15. That leaves Ford (ten minute first cap cameo), Shane Geraghty (doing okay at London Irish), Myler (not exactly setting the world on fire for Saints), Clegg (so poor Quins have loaned him to Bedford) or Botica (English qualified, talented) as potential replacement 10s I can think of off the top of my head. Not the greatest list is it? If we have to have one of them I'd say Ford or, accusations of poaching aside, Botica if he'll play. This is of course all hypothetical, I'd much rather have Flood and Burns in the match day squad. [/QUOTE]
