Yeah, horses for courses, White's done very well and good luck to him :smt023 Reminds me a bit of Mike Philips?
That's always been my view of him & JVP a more Dwayne Peel type 9....White for me looked better in our truly dark days than YBY, I do hope the reason he left was because he wanted to move south & not because we didn't rate him as that would look rather silly.
I understood at the time he wanted to be closer to his partner in London? Also, don't think we didn't rate him, just didn't want him in the way of developing JVP, who, potentially, is a better fit for us!

Halfpenny out Williams in.
He's the better FB anyway,by miles. At the risk of being ridiculed LHP is a quite ordinary FB if you take away his kicking off the tee,i personally have never seen the attraction with him.

Obviously Harris is tactical, but have seen Watson is still going through return to play protocols coming back from Concussion

Here's the French side to face Italy in Rome on Sunday

Le XV de départ des Bleus : 15. Ramos ; 14. Penaud, 13. Fickou, 12. Moefana, 11. Dumortier ; 10. Ntamack, 9. Dupont (cap) ; 7. Ollivon, 8. Alldritt, 6. Jelonch ; 5. Willemse, 4. Flament ; 3. Atonio, 2. Marchand, 1. Baille

Remplaçants : 16. Barlot, 17. Wardi, 18. Falatea, 19. Taofifenua, 20. Lavault, 21. Macalou, 22. Le Garrec, 23. Jalibert

There's one new cap in the starting XV, 22-year-old Lyon winger Ethan Dumortier and a potential new cap from the bench in 20-year-old Racing scrum half Le Garrec.
France are currently on a run of 13 consecutive wins so at the end of the 6Nations they could equal the record of tier one test rugby of 18 consecutive wins (held by NZ and England), but they have tough away fixtures in Dublin and Twickenham.
Allez les Bleus!

Roll away while the player was lying all over him haha! Might as well give Ireland the trophy now though and we can only hope they've peaked for the RWC too early
