Full back is one of the most important positions in the team. I would suggest that part of the reason why we've come up short this season is because we haven't had a regular full back.

The full back needs to be able to read the game and have an excellent understanding of all attacking and defensive structures. Knowing the players around you and building a good understanding with them only comes with playing together.

Richard Horne needs to decide who is best in that position and stick with it. No more chopping and changing please!

Nor me Jemmo.
And he was better vs South Wales.
Hedges is too stout to be a half now.
Loose forward.
Kes/Litten hookers.
Boas/Beryl halves.
Might even stick Litten at half and Boas on the wing for Halliday.
He would be targeted. though.

I don't disagree and yet he has twice been selected as a starting half back this season.

Horne sticks them in a hat ....
Now if I ruled the world we would have a proper coach ... an armchair coach.

The pitch in London is 4g ,a very fast surface which will suite the pace of Litten from dummy half and will cause London problems.

Purely my opinion but with the squad named I think Boas will be full back ,Chrimes ,Bower, Menzie and Tali in the three quarters Kez and Matty in the halves , Litten at hooker and Jordie at 13 take you pick with the forwards and bench as it will all depend on who is in the 17.

A must win game.

I imagine it'll be quiet there tomorrow, all the locals gathered round their radios waiting for the score of the game v Norway

TV would be nice ...

I agree that Jordie is best at 13 but he's done okay when playing in the halves this season.

Jez Litten will be best scooting from dummy half after Kes had done the early stint at hooker.

Possible team:

Full Back: Boas
Wing: Chrimes
Wing: Doherty
Centre: Yere
Centre: Tali
6: Hedges
7: Beryl
8: Brown
9: Kes
10: Boyle
2nd row: England
2nd row: Foster
13: Nzoungou

Subs: Douglas, Scott or Spiers, Litten, Bower

Ogden plus one of Scott or Spiers to miss out.
