Or Wales?

| I’d move Currie to loose and invest in 2 big class forwards.

Tonga haven't been expelled at all. It's their governing body that has. They will just operate as an Invitational XIII as they did against Australia?

That’s a good call
Coops and Hill are closing in on retirement and Philbin is the only top notch prop. There’s quite a list of ‘maybes’, ‘promising’, ‘released by other clubs’, ‘fitness issues’ etc

Moving Currie to Loose would see him utilized as a Pivot. He's big, Athletic, Strong, good hands and vision. Everything you need from a 13. How would putting him at the back of the scrum negate everything he excelled at?
He used to have pace but that's gone now. 13 would be a great place for him.

| He didn't seem to lack too much pace when he broke through vs Cas on Friday. Currie is (was) a very intelligent line runner with a good pair of hands. For me Second Row is a far more attacking position for him, rather than him being in the middle of the field.
The modern day 13 isn't a ball player, and only SO'L at the pies really fits in to that mold these days and he acts more like an extra half back. Full Back acts much more like that extra pivot in the modern game, and has evolved from a defensive position who backed up breaks, to working as an extra pivot outside of the half back. What would his role be at 13? First receiver who just ships the ball out to the half back on that side? Doesn't seem a great use of his talents?
He seems to be improving as the season has progressed, the 'Currie of old' ran great lines (Pace not always necessary) and was able to get great ball out to the centre / winger. Let Jack Hughes play 13, he's more suited to it and seems to revel in that side of the game.
