[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 979732, member: 73144"] Did you have anyone in mind when you wrote that? We saw in the RWC final and again with Glaws and Sarries at the weekend that you just can’t do anything if you’re stuffed in the set piece. It’s not just losing those contests, it’s the ripple effect that comes from them. The set pieces are total unit efforts. So the answer’s clearly the front 5 en masse. If I had to pick one position I’d probably go for locks. They have to be powerful enough to make a difference in the scrum but athletic enough to rule the skies in line outs and restarts. Not to mention being big and horrible enough to generally intimidate. If your locks are on top you’re not going to go too far wrong. No point in having piano players if you haven’t got any piano shifters. [/QUOTE]
