Call me old fashioned, but a test side should have a fullback, scrum half and hooker who ARE full backs, scrum halves and hookers.
Horne might not be as good full back as Birscoe thats why in my origional post i put Lee Smith as full back
You need someone to cover the backs on the bench and someone with the ability LIKE horne to cover 1-7 would be a great assest
I would ideally have Leon Pryce on the bench but i can't think of a better 6
