Mike brown was dropped by eddie and has come back to find his best form for years (it shows that some of his managerial stuff does work). Then not picking him?
Daly is a brilliant player but he is a winger/centre. If he has a bad start we don't have an actual full back in the squad (this is where I really scratch my head with eddie withy these calls). Nowell could theoretically play there but he is pretty much no experience and is another converted winger.
The other weird call is no launchbury (arguably our best second row). I really must miss what kruis does in the scrum or some thing because there is no way he is a better all round player than either launchbury all lawes.
Brown has certainly been better this season, but he's still not pulling up trees at Quins.
Does seem odd not to have him on the bench though considering he can cover wing and full-back, whereas Ashton is a one-trick pony.
I haven't seen much of Sarries this year so not sure how Kruis is getting on. At his best he's a remarkably consistent performer, but he went badly off the boil after the Lions tour.
