Think our backs pick themselves and we will go as big and experienced as possible in the pack. Wouldn't bet against Green at loose forward, Washy & Mini in S/R. Taylor, Houghton & Bowden up front with bench of Paea, Fash, Abdul & Connor.
Then again with no second rowers on the bench, maybe Connor to start at centre and have Griffin on bench to offer extra cover maybe?

So tarquin where would you play connor every match?

I watched the game over a few beers in a spanish bar which is quite appropriate as rovers played like a pub team

I’ve thought about this some more, and I still disagree. I just don’t think it is how most sports think. Which is no criticism of the minority, but I think you’re unusual in this respect. As I am myself, in others.

Manchester United fans have enjoyed enormous success since the 60s, but Best, Law and Charlton are still legends.

Zidane and Cristiano Ranaldo’s successes, and time, haven’t diminished the standing of Alfredo Di Stéfano at Real Madrid.

Kubala was voted Barcelona’s greatest player of the 20th century in 1999, despite despite Cruyff, and their dream team of the 90s.

I’m not diminishing the importance of the likes of Whiteley, for example, achieved. But I never saw him play. My personal emotional connection however is far greater to recent successes which I experienced first hand. I must be unique. Many would say this is a good thing.
