Quote on the bench="on the bench"Ashe, Makinson, Forster and Hale are in the first team squad next year'"
Is that your opinion or are you in the know?
Hale has looked good every time I have seem him, he is pretty hard to miss with his full head of hair. It will be difficult for him to get a start given that he is a second rower and a third of our squad are back rowers. I am not convinced that he is better that Magennis, Dixon and Ashurst but then again, as a junior, I didn't think Roby was as good as Scott Moore. So I will reserve my judgement.
Regarding Karalius from what I have seen of him he makes some good contributions but only made his u20s debut in mid-season so I guess it is too early for him.
