Quote: jimmyfivebellies "Long will walk straight in to the team,which would be a shame for obst,as he and horne,worked well together last week,but he is our number one SH,so unless he decides he isn't fit then it's a cert!!!As for Phelps,trained today(apparently),probably tomorrow,friday off,then training on saturday,which means i expect him to play.'"
My view is that Sean Long now has to 'fight' to regain the scrum-half position. Just having a fitness test is not good enough.
Like many who have posted, I believe that Richard Horne and Sam Obst had a good game playing together on Friday night. They should be given more time together, in order to get a close and understanding partnership.
In my opinion the scrum half position is for Sam Obst to loose. Richard Agar amy give consideration to using Sean Long from the bench [taking into consideration his age etcetera] though that may not be everyones 'cup of tea'
