That your Cummiskey impression?
I really like the idea of Henshaw being at fullback but the timing is strange given that he hasn't played there in ages and is only just back from injury. There are obvious alternatives and I really don't understand why Joe is so reluctant to try Joey there, especially when one of the things we have lacked over the years is a second playmaker, particularly in the 22. Noel might be putting his head in his hands if Robbie suddenly becomes an option at fullback for us. Larmour really unlucky to miss out if he does, he's improved a lot since Toulouse and Argentina.
I know Wasps were rubbish and we had an abundance of front foot ball but the way we used Robbie in that game is how he should always be used when hes at 12, put the ball out in front of him let him build up a head of steam. Others have said that he's wasted at 12 but I don't think he is, his workrate and physicality suit it perfectly (and his passing is improving all the time) but too often we just shovel sh!t and ask him to run into brick walls. I know that will always be a part of a 12's job to some extent, but I think we really overdid and needed to add more subtlety.
