Forgot about Horne.

Agree about O'Hara though, it's hard to include him when you've never really had him. Also, could Beaumont keep him out now?

I'm not saying you don't have things to overcome, but IMO the way Sandercock goes overboard about it just makes it seem like 'poor lickle us' bleating. Like I said, there's a case that we were missing 5, it happens to all teams.

That's just a 7 with the 'Sir Richard Whiting love-in b*****ks' bonus point.

In all seriousness, I'd perhaps agree after he moved to the wing and got us out of a hole. Before that though, I really didn't think he was that much better than any of our other forwards, who were 6s almost throughout.

If that's true it's surprising how often he pokes his nose through the line. He has the ability to beat his opponent with the lines he runs. I don't think you're overstating his performance/ability - in fact of late he's actually been getting some 'neutral' accolades amongst commentators - not before time.
