I'm with TBQ.
If everyone is fit, he doesn't make my XV.
Robshaw and Clifford/Chisholm on the flanks with Bothma at 8.
I have very little time for Luamanu, who doesn't seem to have the ability to play for more than 20mins - perhaps Gustard will do something about that.
Wallace has little impact for me, apart from being stood on the wing all the time...and then ends up getting what would be a great pass if he was actually a winger!!!!!!!
Not sure White has the skills, Ward also lacks impact, good over the ball though.....
If Gustard lasts a few seasons it will be very interesting to see what he does with the squad.
There’s a lot I agree with there, although I do think Wallace is better than being simply a breakdown specialist. He’s a better link player than he gets credit for and is quick enough to keep up with the backs in attack which has been a problem for most of our forwards in recent times.
If everyone is fit, he probably doesn’t make my starting XV and as TBQ said, his selection requires compromises elsewhere but he’s comfortably better than Luamanu or White IMO.
I think our best back row is quite hard to pick TBH. If pushed I’d probably go for Robshaw, Clifford and Chisholm. I’d have Clifford pack down at 8 in attack and 7 in defence. I like Bothma too but I’d prefer Clifford and Chisholm if fit.
