Alternate positions (bit of fun)

You can take this seriously or for fun if you like.
I actually think some players could do an admirable job (if not better) in a different position.

As an example I would like to see this alternate Welsh backline.

15. James Hook
14. Jamie Roberts
13. George North
12. Gavin Henson
11. Alex Cuthbert
10. Leigh Halfpenny
9. Mike Phillips

Hook does well at 15 for Wales and he's too talented to omit
Henson and North in midfield would be amazing
Roberts is better on the wing
Halfpenny at 10 would be very exciting

I'm sure all all fellow Scottish posters will agree that Richie Vernon is wasted in the backrow and should make the switch to centre...

1 Hibbard
2 Jenkins
3 James
4 Coombes
5 Ryan Jones
6 AWJ
7 North
8 J Davies

9 Tipuric
10 Halfpenny
11 Lloyd Williams
12 Phillips
13 Cuthbert
14 Biggar
15 Roberts

Would you pick that backline Saturday or on your tour to north America?

How about moving Tom Croft from the wing and into the backrow - Its worth a shout

I wonder if Phillips could play 9 instead of 6, probably not tbh.

Has Halfpenny ever played anywhere near flyhalf? I'm not aware of any players who have successfully moved to a half back position having not played there in their early career. 9 and 10 are very difficult positions to do well, just being a brilliant fullback is no qualification for playing there.

(Bit of fun) is the giveaway.

Have Italy given Bergamasco a try at flyhalf yet?

I bet he could do that standing on his head

I don't think he has the distribution Ruby, lets just leave him at 6

I think you missed it Sgt.

69 96

It's been a long day/night, cheers boys

You don't miss a trick Glas but then again you know me, unlike you know Phillip Mathews

I don't know him.

Why have you got WRITER underneath your name?

Hefin knows.

I don't know Hefin

I wonder myself sometimes

Larkham moved from 15 to 10 and did alright.

He might have moved from 15 to 10 but he would never have moved from Glynneath to Banwen
