Since we're in a bit of a break now, and partly inspired by my frustrations at how well Matavesi played against us for Bath, I thought I'd ask the question:
Which ex player do you wish had met their potential with us?
I remember having high hopes for Ben Howard. He seemed like the sort of willowy, rangy full back we now have in Nanai, and feel that he was unfortunate to be trying to get into the team at the same time as Pennell was hitting his straps. He was part of a very good England u20 team without looking out of place.
Tom Wood also comes to mind. He was superb for Saints and England in the early to mid 2010s, and would have been a great nuisance at the ruck in our favour, as well as helping to vary our lineout.
