Well yes, that's a bit more 'barbarians'. That's what I was getting at. It's just odd to see some of those players in there. Especially Tindall being the only 13, unless you go for Mils.

What other barriers can there be? I can't imagine Burt not picking Steff if he is convinced on that point. It is only a question of when. He has to make the most of the opportunity this time.
Aye because he was rubbish before...

EFS is primarily a 12. Never worry Tinds is ready willing and able

I don't think I've seen Nacewa play at 10.

Still,....the guy can almost certainly play any position he's offered. He's one of the most complete players I've ever seen.
I've no doubt you could stick him at openside, 8 or lock and he'd still cause havoc.

But havoc for which side?

And hasn't he played 10 a fair few times for Leinster?

Is it not fair to say that he was not as fit, effective or consistent before moving to France? Whether treated fairly or not, he got a chance and was subsequently discarded. I make no bones about not having rated him sufficiently to disagree with ignoring him (and I was not renowned for agreeing with the previous regime about much). Now, he seems to be shouting out 'look at my on-field performance' more than ever before. You and others have always rated him. Fair enough. But he did not make it. I'm prepared to revise my opinion. I just hope he is prepared in every respect to take the next chance when he gets it.

As I said,....I haven't seen that. I'd like to. I think he's a better 15 than Kearney.

He has that Island skillset,....he can play any position. I seriously believe he's the best single player I've ever seen.

The difference is he's in a better team. He was just as good before. Not selecting him was a bit ridiculous.

Yes. He played a lot there when first signed. he's frankly poor there.

No. Not even slightly.

I suppose if you thought him the best player you've seen you would tend to rate him higher than Kearney. I wouldn't agree with any part of your post, but they do say it's about different opinions.
