The young guns are all good enough to be starters individually but I'd be loathe to start them all at the same time. Burgess was good coming off the bench on Sunday and I'd like to keep him in that role for the time being but maybe Flower could do the first 15 mins and then a spell at the end? Failing that, I think I'd prefer Bullock to start.
I thought Byrne was superb on Sunday and it’s probably just reward for him to start the game. I get what you’re saying but if felt the issues in the early rounds were more down to having kids starting alongside ten minute Tony and then kids coming off the bench. I’d probably ease Flower and Burgess back in, so it would be Bullock or Byrne for that last starting spot. I thought Bullock made a couple of errors on Sunday, with a knock on which lead to a penalty and him sleeping for their try. He’s a cracking player Bullock and we need him in the side but I’d like to see them give Byrne that reward of starting.
