[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 520961, member: 24910"] Ellison is certainly a bench option, but Ben Smith gives you just as much utility value, and was used there during the first two Ireland tests (and is a better player ;) ). I think the bench loose-froward spot, like the 6 spot, is very much up for grabs. The selectors rate Thomson very highly, so I wouldn't be surprised if he is given the first shot, especially as Messam has just come off a very busy season with the Chiefs. [/QUOTE]
