[QUOTE="BobbyM, post: 955080, member: 73737"] Can add Lima to that list of departed 10s too!!! I agree with the 3 of BB, Sam and Reid, spot on from a NZ perspective. With my Scotland hat on, it’d be; Russell Johnny Gray McInally Russell is our playmaker and sees and does things that no other play in our team can. Son of Gavin is a good backup and will continue to develop but right now he is a fair bit short of where Finn is. The drop off at hooker after McInally is huge. Especially now Ford has retired our lineout throws get ropey once McInally is off the pitch, and in the loose he is an extra loose forward which is so useful when trying to vary the point of attack and pilfer quick turnover ball. For Gray is it purely about workrate, lineout jumping and grunt in the scrum; in all of these areas he’s much more impactful and effective than any of our other locks, his stats continue to astound when he plays. I toyed with the idea of hoggy. However, given the almost certainty that Ireland will try to take him out off the ball and end his tournament in that early game, Gregor has been blooding a decent backup in Kinghorn for when it happens :p [/QUOTE]
