[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 1160151, member: 39240"] A rebuild yes but not a major overhaul. In the next 12 Months - Crowley to get comfortable as being the main 10 - But to develop 2 or 3 reserves. Backrow - POM is on the way out. We have 6's not worried there. It finding the right mix. Doris needs to stay 8 and Conan is not a 6 so need to get right balance. Set-Piece - Without POM our lineout is statistically terrible defensively and iffy in attack. We need to improve this as a unit and also get more options. Back 3 we have players coming through but need to develop them so would be slowly transitioning Lowe out. (Not abandoning him more if he does decline fast we have options) and desperately need a 2nd #15. Centres - Antoine Frisch needs to play. We need a 2nd player like Ringrose who is a natural 13. Equally Henshaw is becoming very unreliable to be fit and Aki is pushing on so a new 12 or 2 is needed also. I think Andy Farrells main job is to continue building depth. I'd accept not winning the 6 Nations as traditionally this is the tough year even with fixtures but developing guys. [/QUOTE]
