[QUOTE="eot345, post: 474610, member: 42208"] Whilst i agree that Turner-Hall is at best an okay saxons bench player and should not be in the EPS 32. marler is another matter he won a scrummaging penalty around the 69 minuet mark and carried over the gain line and made a fair few tackles, nick wood scrummaged averagely against a traditionaly weak scrummager (johnson) and was completely drained after 60 mins. at the age of 21 marler looked imo more effective during that game then nick wood. I dont understand why so many people think marler is so bad and should not be in the EPS I agree that marler will probably struggle at the start of his full international carrier (against the like of adam jones and mike ross) but it is pretty clear imo that he has massive potential and should be blooded sooner rather then later. Marler certainly looks a lot more promesing then Corbisiero atm imo. Also was it just me or was matt hooper really quite inpressive in that game, if only he could tackle a little stronger. [/QUOTE]
