Re: MOC to be sacked?
I’d like to see Will Evans and O’Connor rotated every few games, similar to how Saracens rotate Spencer and Wigglesworth

Re: MOC to be sacked?
I don't think Evans will get much of a look in, likely Denton, Thompson and O'Connor at 6, 8 and 7.
Thompson can cover 7 if O'Connor is not available, and Denton can do 8, with Kalamafoni and Williams also in the mix for 8 and blindside.

We know that Bakewell knows his bread and butter, therefore must realise Evans potential and utilise it.

Re: MOC to be sacked?
Not really having this weakened Sarries malark.
We were missing:
Genge, Cole, Barrow, May, Owen went off, Youngs, Ford.
30% of the first 23 IMO.

Re: MOC to be sacked?
Who knows, but Evans can hardly get a game now so what chance with Thompson and Denton added!strawclearer wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 4:04 pmBlind man...galloping horse...etc

Re: MOC to be sacked?
I don't believe any of the others match O'Connor or Evans as an openside flanker. On that basis, they should compete for the shirt and accept that 'form' together with injury and rotation will determine who plays when. I would think any professional rugby player would welcome such an arrangement given that it would almost certainly prolong their career.BFG wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 5:30 pmWho knows, but Evans can hardly get a game now so what chance with Thompson and Denton added!

Re: MOC to be sacked?
Denton isn't an openside and certainly got nowhere near the breakdown at the weekend so is unlikely to be deployed there. Thompson can cover openside but I think MOC has learnt his lesson and will go with a natural fetcher, particularly as Bakewell seems to like our forwards to attack the breakdown.BFG wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 5:30 pmWho knows, but Evans can hardly get a game now so what chance with Thompson and Denton added!
In BOC, Evans and young Reffel coming through we have got players who can certainly contest.
Does anyone know if Evans is fit again yet?

Yes I do know that Denton isn't an open side, thanks for stating the obvious!sam16111986 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 10:03 pmDenton isn't an openside and certainly got nowhere near the breakdown at the weekend so is unlikely to be deployed there.

Thompson is an open side, he is quality and will get in ahead of Evans at 7 if BOC is not available in my opinion and why, because of topics titled such as this one!
Reffel is nowhere near in my opinion, as are most of the U20's!

Re: MOC to be sacked?
Thompson isnt an openside,he's played there but he's a far better 8. Using him at 7 would be a mistake by MOC.

Salvi seems to think Thompson should be playing for England at 7.Rugbyflanker wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 3:06 pm Thompson isnt an openside,he's played there but he's a far better 8. Using him at 7 would be a mistake by MOC.

Re: MOC to be sacked?
That's his opinion and its a lot more important than mine coming from a superb player but BOC is a far better traditional 7 than GT who is more of a running threat in space and in traffic. He's played his best games at 8 for Wasps and I believe he's much better there, just my opinion of course. If MOC is thinking of rotating both then its a waste! Thompson can be an impact player or start at 8 with Kala or Williams at 6.
Re: MOC to be sacked?
Does a win not count if the opposition has any injuries in their squad?
