Flatman is good value, until he starts on his GQ magazine rambles. Sometimes think he is one game away from releasing his own range of ‘Hair & Body’ products

Nobody is buying those. Too much body and not enough hair.

Adequate just about covers him at 8.
He's adequate at doing the key 8 role of controlling at the back, but he's still exceptional around the pitch. It's not like the moment you put the 8 shirt on him, he's not allowed to do any of the roles he fulfilled in the 6.
Yes-ish, though I thought his work from the base in attack and defence was a bit ropey, and though it’s not his fault owing to the choices around him, he’s neither a Simmonds nor a Billy in the carry, though his footwork is good- which I felt left us a bit lacking. I’m ok with him at 8, but not a fanboy. I’m not a jngf who believes a change in number on your back automatically changes your skills or ability to deploy then.

Curry at 8 is working at the moment, but the pack aren't getting put under sustained pressue for long. I suspect we'll only really find out if he's an international class 8 when Eng play a side that really tests them and he's put under pressure.
I suspect more than one of us has played out of position against a weaker side and done a decent job only to have a mare when the other side can really put the pressure on.
