Yup, I put SBW on the wing. I want him in the mix and with a classic wing like Gear on the other side, I reckon his gamebreaking ability could be massive.

Unluckiest players IMO: Crockett, Tom Donnelly, Cruden, Fruean.

yup that'll be pretty close, although I watched Williams outplay Whitelock in the lineout a few weeks ago! I suspect Toeva will be the other winger.
