The idea of perhaps Simmonds at 8, Curry at 7 and perhaps Willis at 6 really excites me though I know that is a massively inexperienced back row.Rouge9https://www.blogger.com/profile/12303813733414523329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101694739527706614.post-2486467457704467632018-06-27T22:19:42.804+01:002018-06-27T22:19:42.804+01:00Good summary - I think Hughes also needed a change...Good summary - I think Hughes also needed a change of game plan (Alongside not being selected when unfit...) he really doesn't play well as mini Billy, and for Wasps runs a wider line into midfield<br /><br />But whilst a faster back row does link with a fast back three, its still the half backs and centres that appear to be areas of doubt such that inside centre has no real option to Farrell, who is competent but no more.
