[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1105356, member: 13739"] Sounds about right. Personally I wouldn't have Elias anywhere near the side, his throwing in costs us far too often with his inability to throw accurately further than the front of the lineout. An attacking lineout is one of the most potent attacking opportunities, but we're unable to launch a propper attack with ball off the top with him throwing. But Pivac seems to like Elias, so I think he's likely to start. I'd also like to see Rio Dyer involved ahead of Cuthbert. Cuthbert hasn't played yet this season and really shouldn't be in the sqiad as a result. I accept that Halfpenny may be the sensible option at fullback given the lack of LRZ/Adams' experience there, but I'd love to see a back three with the potency of Adams, LRZ and Dyer. Not a fan of Beard myself either. He has his plusses in the lineout and maul, but he still doesn't play anywhere near his size. He's far too passive carrying the ball and in defence, and I think that limits us too much. I think Tshiunza is being groomed as a backrower, but I think he would be better utilised alongside Rowlands in the row, offering us an extra dynamic player. Maybe that will come though. [/QUOTE]
