I'd be quite keen to see Alfie in the centres sometime.

I love this. He is so bloody talented. He would be pretty useful on the wing.

This will be Robshaw's last ever home game - lets go and spoil the party ;D

Wasps did a good job of spoiling Johnson and Back's last game at Twickenham

Equally, we did a very bad job of spoiling Nick Evans's last match at the Stoop three years ago.

Strong team. Assume Mills is injured. Maybe Watson on the bench for Le Bourgeois?

I don't know the rules and regs, but some of ours may be 'timed out'.

Don't see how they can be as none of them has played in the past fortnight.

The timing rules were put in for the matches between 14th August and 14th September.

Alfie played in the centre at school. That no doubt when he learned the dummy, soft hands and attack space ethos.

Personally, I think that he could play in a number of positions with aplomb.

Yep, and whilst normally at school was some time ago, in his case it was just last year :D.

I doubt we'll see him there, but it does make the 6/2 split slightly less risky.
Personally, I think playing him in the centres for any reason other than a bizarre sequence of injuries to the backs would be madness. School rugby isn't professional rugby, centre is not like hooker or flanker.
This reminds me of a poster on DW who advocated playing Marco Wenzel in the centres, as he has good hands and hits good lines. There is a bit more to centre play than that [speaking as an ex-centre who is affronted anyone  thinks non-speciists can do a job there ;) ]

We've spoiled a couple of farewells in Twickenham in the past. Hopefully we can do the same again tonight.
