[QUOTE="yaboyjj, post: 704923, member: 71795"] The idea that we have Clarke and Croft (having played about two games in as many years) are in the senior team over Kvesic and Ewers still baffles me. They were pretty outstanding on Friday and the carrying from the pack was far far better than anything we saw in the Autumn (particularly from Thomas and Ewers). Players that enhanced their reputation: Ewers (invaluable front foot ball from his carrying) Kvesic (how many turnovers did he win?) Itoje and Garvey (lineout not withstanding- not their fault entirely) Simpson (lifted the tempo when needed) Pennell (looked very solid) Fearns (another powerhouse in the loose) Slade (not given much ball, but got the back moving) Those who didn't: Webber/LCD (seemingly neither can throw or hook) Burgess (feel for him- was in at the deep end and was given no ball) Dickson (not looking very sharp) Those who should feel slighted by non-inclusion/starting spot (hindsight I know): Hill Wade (Ashton played OK, but what did we find out that we didn't already know?) Simpson (should have started) George (really solid player who should get more recognition) I really think that given a decent sett piece, this could have been a much bigger win. [/QUOTE]
