Hi - was at the game - noticed Hape sat with Buderus & Sam Burgess a few rows above me - is he not playing at Bath at the moment & would he solve our 'centre' problem even if its just for a year or so whilst Watkins gets more experience?

I believe Hape is still contracted to his RU team.

what centre problem is that?

Experience of what? Pulling his pud on the sidelines?

The Merrion isn't what it used to be...

You'll be accused of having an opinion if you do this...

we do look weak at that side as shown against Manly - it was just a thought about Hape

any side would look weak when down to 12 with the manly players running the lines they were

This is a very good point. How muchg experience does a young player gain by being replaced in the team by an older player?

I wasn't Hape at the match the other night.
