[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 716852, member: 67273"] I feel pretty confident in saying that the coaches will be looking for a lump (I don't mean that negatively). I cannot see them picking Kyle, unfortunately, unless Bath go on to win the premiership... and even then.... I think they are crossing everything they have that Manu will be fit - and to be fair, if you played Manu in the role Burrell played this tournament I think it would work quite well. I think it could work very well if he could get his offload game going and he looked to distribute marginally more. His fitness is a bit unclear to the general public though... I've heard mixed things about whether he'll be fit in time. Perhaps Burgess is being groomed as a crash ball guy by Stuart as a back up to Tuilagi... it wouldn't surprise me. I do feel though, that picking someone like Barritt would be a very noncommital choice. Either you pick someone for some wallop or you go the other way and pick Slade or Eastmond. Frankly I think Hill, callow as he is, would be a better choice in terms of having an identifiable gameplan than Barritt. [/QUOTE]
