That's why I got confused - you said Keep Waters and Saunders at all costs and you're unsure about Mulchrone, yet he's your No.2! Its not like he's an experienced player on the slide - quite the opposite!
Re: Saunders - I can't help thinking we'll lose him to an Irish province if and when he gets some semi regular first team experience.
Waters has looked good at 7s, so almost nothing to go on and I think people are over-rating him as they did with Mikalcius (sp?).
I feared that too but before when I read up on him and also having spoken to him, Saunders bleeds Harlequins having been the club he supported from a young age, so we have that on our side; his desire to play in a Quins shirt a boyhood dream
