[QUOTE="Aedaphon, post: 558261, member: 46333"] ... Had never compared those three backrows before, the Frenchman makes a fair point. I am completely agreed, I really don't think we have a complete no.8 in the home nations (I'm horrifically biased towards Steffon Armitage as a player with that potential, but I don't know if anyone else is in that boat with me). If Ferris or Croft were fully fit and had all 5 Six Nations games under their built I'd say we could compensate for the lack of a balanced 8 with a well balanced 6. However, with Ferris, Croft and also Lydiate all looking at outside chances to make the tour we'll have to make do with what we have. And possibly take away Gill...
