[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1177521, member: 73144"] Pah. If you go to our Northern clubs, all you find is South African forwards and Argentinian backs. Both of which might be really quite useful….. Completely agree with this. Except perhaps for your first 2 sentences. We have a lot of good players but very few really top notch players. At various points in relatively recent times Watson, May, George, Curry, Sinckler, Itoje, B Vunipola, Farrell, Manu, Underhill and even for a time Genge etc were all spoken of as being one of the best in the world in their position - mostly a bit hyperbolic but they were at least in that conversation. That’s just not the case now although it can be hard to distinguish cause and effect (and that’s about the 3rd different way I’ve made a similar point in the last 24 hours!). [/QUOTE]
