[QUOTE="WarriorKelv, post: 984261, member: 77574"] Tbh I actually thought Earl was bigger cause Sarries website don't supply height or weight. Nathan Hughes Sam Simmonds Matt Kvesic (has played at 8 before) Dave Ewers if for another physical presence Ben Morgan Alex Dombrandt Teimana Harrison Lewis Ludlam Josh Beaumont Jono Ross Sam Moore Ben Earl Jackson Wray Brad Shields (if fit) Tom Willis That's pretty much the list we have atm there are certainly personal available but not a lot of quality. Moore and Willis are young prospects but aren't ready yet. Shields I don't even know if he is fit and not a massive fan anyway. Kvesic, Ludlam and Ross are playing well but aren't natural 8s. Simmonds, Earl, Harrison and Wray are also playing well but aren't the bulky 8s that Eddie likes and wouldn't fit into that Billy role of basically being a battering ram. Beaumont and Ewers are very left field picks although would fit the big guy role. Morgan and Hughes have the experience but Hughes hasn't performed for England and Morgan doesn't seem to be in Eddie's favour. Dombrandt will almost certainly be in there but needs we can't go with just one 8 and we don't really know how he will perform on the international stage. When you think Billy V, Mercer, Clifford and Wilson are out we certainly have quantity in this position but hard to see where the quality is cause even Billy hasn't been at his best recently and is injury prone.
