dolf_lundgren wrote:true, but they play slightly different roles I think. Toolis is competing with Ritchie Gray and Cummings, maybe even Skinner for the lineout dominator/wider carry role. Gilcho feels like the ideal backup to Jonny in the bulky workhorse role.
Im no expert on 2nd row play though, so that may well be nonsense!

I actually think Toolis and Johnny make a good partnership but I'd like to see a Cummings-Skinner partnership too. I dont think they'd fit the traditional view of a partnership but that's perhaps not as important with today's super versatile and skilled players. They'd really provide 'ooomph'!

VDW away to SA to get married and will need to quarantine when he gets back so won't be in Scotland squad and won't be playing Monday.
Chamberlain certainly will be getting game time then do we have an another academy 10 or is any super 6 player likely to be training with us?
