Get Drinkwater, Paterson, Maria and Tonga back and we won't be far off...

Problem with Vea and Tickle is they have been asked to do too many minutes for too many games and they could do with a bit of rotation.

Biggest thing for me is we need to stop faffing with the FB position. Brown is our best FB by a country mile. Would rather see AJ in centre and Hampshire on wing until Tonga is fit.

Get the spine right and the rest will sort itself out.

Despite his defensive frailties I still reckon McNally can offer the team a lot - can deffo mix the attack up

It sounds daft, but McNally is probably our best half back !!



I have never seen him play there though but he is a fantastic passer of a ball.

I agree with Brown at FB to be honest. A real solid and reliable player who takes the ball in well. It just concerns me about the severe lack of pace we have in the squad, and now that the pack is beginning to get rolled over, both defence and attack have started to suffer.

An interesting Holiday period ahead.
