I think Scott is about right

Yes, fair enough but Berrigan can cover those positions better IMO.

But as soon as he moves from hooker we go to . =white(I'll pre-empt any 'you're anyway' comments here)

I'd much rather have slightly worse cover at centre than better cover there but much worse cover at hooker. Plus, of course, if we don't pick up an injury (a long shot, I know), it's a waste of a bench spot and means we either make a change for the sake of it, weakening the team, or someone has to play longer than necessary, diminishing their effectiveness.

We have plenty of cover to be honest. 2 props and 2 second rowers but with Washy and Manu able to slot into the backs should we need it. Berrigan must play 9, he is wasted anywhere else including 6 or 7.
