[QUOTE="Peat, post: 789188, member: 42330"] McGrath was always in contention for me. The thing with Davies is... who else but him? Youngs' passing rules him out, Laidlaw is ponderous as all hell, Care never seems to get it together... there's Murray, Webb, and someone else, right now that someone else is Davies. Hartley's always tried hard, his problem for me is mediocrity, I am no more sold on him than before. Kruis I think still has a passel of better locks ahead of him. The Tongan Two, rated them before and rate them now - guess they have raised the bar to be fair. Seymour and Hardie, not quite sold on. Hogg... needs to do the basics better. Tbh, whoever goes on tour at FB, they're there to clean Halfpenny's boots at present. Although you've reminded me of Liam Williams, who I think has done well. I'd have had Watson to tour before. Would like to see Stander play in a stronger Irish team but he wasn't consistently able enough for me. Might be an option I guess. I am possibly being a bit too conservative here mind. McCloskey. Nowell's been playing international rugby quite some time now... hardly a bolter :p [/QUOTE]
