Hand on heart, our strongest line up next year, should be the players performing at their best.
There is a lot of competition in the pack and no one should see themselves as a shoe in.
The backs are somewhat easier to name, apart from centre and 6.
So there is some competition there.
Sadly I don't think either Wheeler or WIlkin will be at 6. Wheeler would be the natural choice, Wilkin is most likely the most effective choice, but I think Lance will be the choice.
ALthought I would prefer Lance to play the replacement 9 role.
Still some tinkering yet to be done, but it is nice to have the large % of a balanced side. If Walsh gets injured though we are back to square 1.
