Yes all those people are wrong.
He's also not going to be playing a lot of club full back any
more as Sarries have at least 2 players (probably 3) better
suited there.
Being weak under the high ball in the current game does
unfortunately make you a bad full back in the same way that
being bad at scrummaging does in fact make you a bad prop.
It's not a role someone else can always be there to bail you out
and it's already cost England several tries and one match to my
mind.

Don't know if 2003 World Cup was the last time Quins only had 2
players in the squad or not but, that didn't work out too badly!
Though I'm not expecting the same outcome this year!

Eddie Jones shows last four years meant nothing

"Sunday’s debutants were able to perform in the comfort of their
home stadium in front of an 82,000-partisan crowd. When the
chips are down in a must-win quarter-final, will they be able to
cope with the pressure of cut-throat knockout rugby against the
world’s best? The simple answer is we don’t know, because they
have never faced this scenario before. And when it comes down to
the crunch, Jones is putting a huge level of faith in the
untried and untested."

Did anyone else see Daly’s tackle stats from Sunday? 2 tackles
made, 4 missed! Oh dear he needs to vastly improve here to be a
useful fullback.

"Jones also confirmed that, in agreement with the Premiership
clubs, he will be allowed to call-up additional players over the
remaining warm-up matches only in the event of injury, and given
the issues currently on his hands he will add lock Charlie
Ewels, flanker Matt Kvesic and centre Joe Marchant for
Saturday’s return fixture with Wales."

The one he missed for the 1st Wales try was shocking, he got
side stepped 5m before the tackle. He needed position himself to
force the Wales 9 to step towards the touch line, really quite
basic last man defence.
