[QUOTE="jcahill1, post: 986923, member: 62869"] Regardless of whether he played well or not, he was not making big carries, which is what Thornley grouped him in with Stander as doing. He did well at the breakdown, although in my view not as well as Stander or Vdf. And was absolutely excellent at the lineout, as he always is. My issue isn't whether he's a top class player, because he clearly is excellent at what he does well. I just think we need at least a decent ball carrier playing in his position currently. I also agree with what other posters have been saying regarding the front row. Healy was having a nightmare at scrumtime, and then both the starters were pushed way past where they'd normally stop. Hopefully they've both recovered but could be dicey. [/QUOTE]
