[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 801072, member: 73592"] 1. Isn't true 2. To me, that makes Stuart Lancaster a bad selector. As for Te'o - we have 2 years of evidence that he's good at playing rugby union; and that he's good at playing inside centre. For Burgess (as of his England debut) we had about 15 games of evidence that he wasn't very good at playing rugby union; and about 6 that he was mediocre at playing centre. These things are not the same. Te'O has played 2843 minutes of rugby for Leinster - apparently, nowhere near enough (for those who've only seen a highlights real of him playing a different sport) Itoje has played 3055 minutes of rugby for Saracens - apparently enough to call him world class Equally; a team playing poorly =/= all it's players are poor; a team playing well =/= all it's players are good. Some here seem to think that is any discussion of 2 players the only answer needed is to see which team finished higher up the table. This is pure silliness. [/QUOTE]
