Quote: Cherry.Pie "I prefer him at halfback but he did play probably as much of last night's game at hooker and looked just as good there. I think at the moment the plan of switching him and Powell during the game works very well.'"
Agree, he was very good last night (in both positions) I wouldn't pigeonhole him into any one of them at the moment. Like all young players he needs time to develop and find their best position and the one that best fits the team.
It'll be interesting to see what happens when Hampshire is fit, will he play at #1 or #6.
Personally I would not want to rush him and George into those pivotal #6 and #7 as a pair too soon. I would hope they could get more games in the next two years with a view to them being in the starting 13 after that. We need to protect these young players for their own good and that of the team for the long term. We need to avoid another Kevin Brown / Luke Robinson scenario.
