Congrats on the name change, too, or should be directed at DOK?

Lang at 15 is a project I'd like to see us try. Will need to
stick at it for a while to see if it works out though - FB takes
a lot of learning. Positioning and reading the game from the
back field is not something you pick up overnight. He has the
attributes for me - very good all round game.
Herron, no. He's looked really exposed there when he's had to
fill in this season. Doesn't have the pace or strength for me.
Keep him as a 10/12 off the bench for now. Replacement 15 as a
last resort.

Some of our more sicknote-y players might really benefit from
this enforced break.

We just neext Brown (and/or Ashton) to do a proper handover.

Exactly my thoughts.
Lynagh is definitely a prospect but I don’t think he’s likely to
be ready in the next season or two, hence why I’d like us to
have a look at Lang.

I was searching for a rugby paper article the other day and
randomly one of the google results was an interview with Tom
Guest "my life in rugby". Decent read and interesting that he
said that he should really have moved on sooner in his career to
get regular starts, and if Deano hadn't left he probably would
have gone sooner, as he didn't think he really featured in
Richards' plans at all, but he was ultimately glad he stayed as
he got to play a part in the Premiership campaign

season. At 22, he’d be an ideal guy to develop behind Care.

Mixed reaction to Embrose. I seem to remember he was a little
flaky at times.

It's only just occurred to me that the Robshaws aren't going to
get another match in a Quins shirt, or the send-off they
deserve! That's a damn shame! Given the situation is worldwide,
could he be tempted to stay with us for whenever the new season
starts?!
Also: Sinks is now finished at Quins, although I think he
mentally checked out last September anyway!

Yeah - definitely not the finished article, but looks like he
has a lot of the right ingredients and could learn from Care.
I doubt we’ll be after him anyway so it’s a bit of a moot point.
