I really don't think I have seen this guy play better than he has this season .... It shows even more now to saints when he is injured, how much of an asset he is to the team, in my opinion I think he would make a great full back but used a a third utility like Webb. Apologies for any spelling mistakes I'm doin this from the phone!!!!

Useful in the squad because he can cover a number of positions, but not the future for England.
Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.

I think it's the responsibility of the manager to ensure he gets the best out of the players and S Mc should know something about what motivates Leon.
If he can find a way to get the best out of him then Pryce has to be at 6 for England. When at his best he is almost unplayable for the opposition and we aren't blessed with too many that have that quality.
Obviously he has his downside and the risk is that he plays and just goes through the motions, however its worth remembering that the last time he played 6 against Australia we won and he played very well.
S Tomkins offers us something from fullback that we havnt had for two generations so we can actually offer a threat from there.
It's also worth remembering that we don't have to find an Inglis and a Slater, what we need is to be significantly better than we've been in the threequarters. With Atkins showing up well and Shenton developing we should be more competitive and with our pack we should at least go close.

I'd have him on the bench for England. That covers all of our backs and we can have 3 forwards on the bench then.
