Was thinking this myself. I’ve no doubt it’s something we may explore next season with Taute or Thomas outside him. Playing at 12 means he’s less prone to come out the line and get caught on the outside.Jimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 9:52 pmBut we have better options at 13 than 12 so move Manu inside and play someone else at 13sam16111986 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 9:26 pmBecause he's a better 13. Where's he played with greater success for England (beating the ABs). England lack a natural 12 of the same level as their three very good 13s (Joseph struggling for fitness currently though).Jimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 8:07 pm Here’s a radical idea, how about we play the guy that plays 12 internationally for England with great success, at 12 for Tigers...

Very exciting! Hopefully with more consistency in selection and the right level of coaching (?) that is looking like a dynamic attacking set up at last.
