[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 845566, member: 12190"] Totally agree about Evans, think he's pushed into the queue, though probably still behind Marler. Re. Moriarty I feel like there are a lot of guys who can cover 8 so I'm not sure that would be enough. Still, he's been strong this tournament, though I feel the public expected him to replicate his England performance in every single game which just wasn't going to happen. On the other hand, he's incredibly 'dynamic' and as we all know, Faletau isn't at all dynamic... Think that's a bit harsh on Williams - maybe he could seek more work but with the ball he always threatened and I saw him smash back much bigger men several times in the tackle which isn't something he's come to be known for. If you were to take a sum of all the attributes of all the 13s we have Davies would score very poorly but I do worry about his effect on a backline trying to move the ball quickly and effectively. I don't think he's adaptable enough. [/QUOTE]
