Quote: The Chair Maker "As mentioned earlier , i think we should look at playing lafranchi in the back row.
I think a pack of
Perry
Roby
Walmsley
Soliola
Lafranchi
Wellens
Bench. Puletua, Manu, Clough, LMS
would take some stopping.'"
I get the feeling it could be little late to be converting Wellens to the pack. He is used to about 12 years of standing around until the last tackle, a modern day smallish backrower needs to be making 30 plus tackles a game. Couple that with the need to get bigger, it is a difficult transition that should have been made 2-3 years ago.
