[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1207067, member: 73144"] He’s been set a target of 4, but I don’t think his job’s explicitly dependent on attaining that. And as [USER=59968]@BPM[/USER] says 2 or 3 is most likely. Back row, which should be a strength actually worries me a bit. You’ve got absentees (Underhill), not match fits (Chessum) possibly newcomers (Willis, Pepper and The Next Big Thing and B Curry if not exactly a newcomer has little international game time), not quite at their bests (CCS, T Curry & Earl) and not quite good enoughs (Dombrandt). I’m not sure there’s anyone with reasonable international experience who’s really firing at the moment. Centre’s a perennial issue and 2/3 of our first choice back 3 are out. As is one of our first choice locks and it’s not impossible that our first choice 10 might be at 15. I appear to have got up in a glass half empty mood. Let’s see what the announcement brings.
