He might be an absolute fantastic player, but we have 5 fantastic wingers already… and I can't imagine anyone would pick him as our starting winger for the QFs, even if we had two injured wingers!
We don't really need another centre or full-back as there's cover enough, but it is criminal having a RWC squad with only 4 fit props.

Are you questioning whether Watson shifts to fullback or just drops straight out? Personally I'd love to see 11. May 14. Cokanisga 15. Watson right now. It's a bit wild, I guess, but I think it would terrify a fair few teams. Daly is class but just hasn't impressed me that much for a little while.

I'd probably keep Daly at 15 and have Watson on the bench. Partly the left footed kicking, partly the long distance kicking option, partly how Daly runs the counter attack, but also there's precious little evidence Watson is actually a better 15 at test level
