Quote: IR80 "As good as Houghton is, I wouldn't call him a one off, we've had better, Swain for example.'"
I don't disagree with you saying Swain was better overall, to be fair Swain was the best hooker in the world. But Swain would occasionally take a breather in a game, Houghton rarely does, which is why he is unique. If you don't need to interchange your 9, in theory we should have more punch coming off the bench.
