       As someone who watched Clifford play from the age of 13 as my
       son played in the same school team I can categorically confirm
       that Clifford was always a 6 for both school (RGS) and Club
       (Cobham) and was neither a Quins Academy or EPDG convert to the
       back row. He would occasionally fill in at 8 if Alex Stout his
       School, Club and England U16 companion (and IMHO the better
       player at schoolboy level) was unavailable but he never played
       in the centre in XV's. On a rare occasion he would play in the
       midfield in 7's tournaments but not in XV's.

       Ha, so I was essentially right! I'll have to dig out that post
       from 2023 when I was correct about something else, then I can
       have a real gloat.

       Finally watched the Newcastle game and saw that their starting
       fullback, Coetzee, was a lock by trade. He was at least Steward
       standard, so that's a good example of an actual hybrid player.
