[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 786616, member: 73144"] I think May is excellent and before injury he was very much on an upward trajectory at international level, bit like Kruis has been recently. And how do you set a defensive pattern when the runner himself hasn't got a clue what he's going to do next? And he has blistering speed, which is the one thing that terrifies all defences; Nowell, for all his smartness, doesn't. I would say that Nowell should gravitate to 15 and while I think he could be very good there, I think Watson could be stellar, which leaves a vacancy on the wing. Very much like the look of Lewington, but Watson senior at Newcastle will be worth keeping an eye on over the next couple of years as he gets to grips with XVs; gas to burn,and from the limited sight I've had of him seems to scrap pretty hard for his size in both breakdown and tackle. Bringing my crystal ball out I think both Nowell and Clifford will win more caps from the bench than in the starting XV. Ditto Slade unless he really specialises in one position, ideally 10, at Chiefs. [/QUOTE]
