       SB was an unfortunate scape goat for RWC 15. Others performed
       far worse in that series and he just had no time to really get
       adapted to things, and was just chucked in with miracles
       expected.
       On scrum halfs, If I had to pick two for the 6N I'd go with
       Spencer and Quirke. Spencer has been a solid performer and can
       kick well, and Quirke if he finds his form can be good off the
       bench. Warr also may be a good option.
       JVP sadly evolved into Ben Youngs, but not the one from about 5
       years ago, more the present day one. No X factor, slow and
       ponderous.

       Based on recent performances, there are many Sale fans who'd
       have Gus over Raffi.

       Quirke does seem to have taken a step back following Fafs
       departure. I still think he has what it takes and has that
       something different, but from what I saw recently he was maybe
       trying a bit too hard.

       That pass was an absolute worldie.
