Oh to see an Olding-Henshaw midfield. Tasty.

But it'll be D'Arcy-Henshaw no doubt...

I 've wanted to see Dick start at 8 for us. I reckon he's a better 8 than 6 (didnt he play 8 at Stormers?) He's more pace and a better handler than both RW and NW. Which is then where a good 6 comes in..

He played 8 for us a lot too when he first arrived

He is an 8 in the Heaslip mould

I'd say he's an 8 in the Michael Owen mould - good ball player but poor carrier so needs big ball carriers around him.

Diack is an utterly useless ball carrier. Like Heaslip

Comparing Diack and Heaslip as similar standard carriers is an insult to Heaslip. Now there is a sentence I never thought I'd type.

Diack needs to be used in midfield more. He is big, athletic and has good hands. Running into the opposition pack is where he looks weak. It's all about generating the mismatch. Forward v back. Winger v prop etc.

Shame when he is used there he fails to touch the ball down over the line
