Are we going to the point of tighthead loosehead, inside outside centre, blindside openside flanker etc? I've just been considering general positions?
Howezer's call, obvz, but I'd say tighthead and loosehead prop are definitely different positions at least. Quite rare a player covers both.

I`m happy with it... just want to know. Probably find the pack is a bit more stringent but back-line is a bit iffy.

I think we should make at least an effort to play our picks where they would feasibly go. Jonathan Davies could play at 12 or 13 even though he favours 13. Kurtley Beale could play 10, 12, 13 or 15 pretty much equally. But if Tadhg Furlong - or any other tighthead from the last decade - plays the other side of the scrum in a test match, I'll eat my hat.
