[QUOTE="Bluemoon, post: 758338, member: 38204"] Yeah I can see what you are saying here. We are going to have to find a way of being smart with our current backline. Roberts-Davies was always so good because JR held 2 defenders and JD was so skilful at finding the space that was created. I think you are being a little harsh on Jamie Roberts. He's never really been a finisher, but more of a battering ram, a defensive beast and a decoy man. He's still been doing that very well. I think the difference we are seeing is that Wales have stopped using him so much on the 10 inside switch to the opposition 10/12 channel as people are waiting for it. For me, he's still our best 12 by a country mile, and if JD/SW were still here, I think we would have scored yesterday in the 13 period. I'm more concerned about North at 13. As an individual, he's obviously outstanding, but I didn't see Wales run many moves yesterday and I am wondering whether in a WC it's his best position. [/QUOTE]
