But the thing now if we do still by some miracle finish it will have lost its shine as we are now reliant on 'favours' from other teams, rather than showing a dominant force and we will just be a team that has limped over the finish line...

indded. he's so big he couldn't get off the bench on thursday

I remember start of year, and wasn't they trying to develop Minchella into an hooker? Could he be a good bench option, back up hooker? Can do backrow and that role as needed. Therefore you get the backup we don't have this year, but with the option of also playing other roles in the pack.

I can't see it myself

How did Minchella go on at London?

It went well for him, getting experience playing first team rugby. He played loose forward most games, couple at second row and one at stand off
