And he had to recalibrate that.

But I think a year on, he'd want to back him again.

And I think...

It would have been the case for Crowley.

Had Crowley had two big outings at Munster in the last two weeks where he blew the doors off, I think Crowley could probably nick it.

I have a feeling at the moment, because to shunt the way now to Harry Byrne in Paris would be a massive shift.

And what does that say to the two prototypes he was developing for the last two years?

So it's a very complicated one, but I have a sense he's going to have to back Fernandes here and say, right, I'm just going to go with it, going to trust him, give him all the support I can.

That's where I think he'll go.

That's probably where I would go as well in the circumstances.

Right, yeah.

In my position, I think, because none of the three of them tick all the boxes.

And there's an element of backing the guy you want at the end of the day who's probably going to be your starting 10 in the World Cup.

So that's why I would read it.

But it's easy, again, it's easy for me to say that.

You're heading on Thursday night into Paris, first game of the Six Nations, which kind of defines momentum.

If we win in Paris, I think we could be talking Grand Slam because to go to Twickenham, well, we could be in England and Twickenham would have won a role.

But you're losing Paris, you're losing Twickenham, the whole Six Nations becomes a rescue job, you know.

So there's a lot hinging on that selection alone.
