Quote: NickyKiss "I hope we do play Walters and Nsemba but think it may be one or the other due to the sheer amount of quality props we have. In my mind the best balance of pack and bench is to pick your starting 6 and then to have 2 props, a second rower and a hooker on the bench. I'd hope we'd go to that set up in time and probably from Saturday but I'm doubtful. We have enough props who can play good minutes (Thompson, Havard, Dupree etc) to not need 3 props on the bench.'"
Definitely, and I think some of those are actually better over longer minutes. Harvard and Thompson in particular seen to thrive over longer spells.
I think when you have game changing threats in the pack like Nsemba and Walters, they need to be played if possible. Not every team has that and it gives us a point of difference. Especially given our pace in the backs. Breaks and offloads of the type that those two can bring is meat and drink to the likes of Field and French.
