Dave’s Pick #10: Stirling Mortlock
Doc Craven would be turning in his grave if he knew that I still hadn’t selected my frontrankers. He always used to say that the two most important players in the team are the tighthead prop, and the reserve tighthead.
There is no danger of Gareth picking a prop on the flank, but there is a little worry that he may take Mortlock - who is in sublime form - and try him, say, on the wing!
