    Three Red Kings put up a brilliant article about back row balance a few years ago that unfortunately seems to have disappeared from the internet. For me, the problem isn't Conor Oliver's lack of size per se, but that the pack selected for tomorrow completely lacks ball carriers and having an undersized 7 doesn't help with that. I think O'Brien/Oliver/Boyle is a well balanced back row that offers a diverse skill set and plenty of physicality. Masterson/Oliver/Masterson, not so much.

    Brilliant point, Oliver is a brilliant link man and has a lot of attributes needed in a 7. Would love to see Oliver along with two from SOB/Abe/Boyle with Thornbury and roux in second row

    we have no powerhouse for now and it's a big problem, Brstol and Ulster games cruelly showed this
