Only thickos like Phil Clarke when he's being deliberately controversial.

Morley, Carvell, Wood, and Cooper are ace, Harrison will be there or thereabouts eventually too. Maybe get a man in for a season or two, no duff Aussies though ta.

Whilst Harrison frustrates me at times with silly mistakes, I think he has the real potential to be another Westwood for us, and I would be made up with that.

He looks knackered after about 5 minutes, but he is getting better and better in each game, and Smith seems to really rate him too.

I've said recently that Harrison possibly needs a rest, he's had a lot of game time. He had made the odd mistake but I think he's looked a bit frustrated with himself and that might be a factor.

I think he's superb and, on a general trend, is on course to be a star.

Don't forget, he had a pretty decent workload in the winter, playing 80 mins a game for Ireland as they exceeded expectations at the World Cup. He's probably in need of a rest, but given the way things ar for us at the minute, you miss out, it's tough to get back in, long may that continue.

I've been impressed with Cooper & Harrison this year, I'd play Cooper at the expense of Rauhihi or Wood at the minute.
