Marchant's wonder / bizarre try vs Sarries does show that he is much better at claiming a high ball than Daly though!

Rated this as "funny" - but it's probably also true, which is... less funny when you consider that Daly is likely to wear the 15 shirt in the big RWC games.

Marchant in my eyes could make an excellent full-back. He is big, strong, fast, brave, good under the high ball and would probably relish the broken fields that full-back offer.

Hate to labour the point and I'm not just spoiling for an argument with you Twickers (I promise!) but as I'm sure Eddie reads this forum regularly (lol)... just play Marchant at 13 if you're going to play him. If you go two wingers down during a game he'll also help you out there, but the guy was one of the top OCs in the Prem last season (if not, THE top 13) and there's no reason to remove him from a position where he is so effective BOTH offensively and defensively and put him somewhere that requires totally different positioning and reading of the game (15).

The less said about Francis, Shields and Te'o the better. It actually winds me up.
