[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1222780, member: 73144"] But Pearson’s brilliant on the Wattbike. WHAT ELSE MATTERS? TBH Pearson has 8 written all over him for me. Don’t know how much he’s actually played there, but skill set wise it seems to suit him on paper. He probably drifts in and out of games a bit too much for flanker and is never going to be a perpetual in the opposition noses type at 7 like the Currys. 8 probably gives a little more scope for more irregular but big interventions and plays more to his strength of ball in hand. He’s unquestionably quick and powerful and big enough - same height as Willis and between him and Earl in weight and probably a better line out option than either. He’s out of the Eng picture at the moment. But if he is to have an international future it’s hard to see it in any shirt other than 8. Especially if a 3 open side type back row is SB’s plan A.
