Later he was weak in defence and let hull in for a try.
Pryce is an outstanding runner, but he is not a stand off.
I left the match thinking of alternative options.
Playing Wheeler at SO would result in a very inexperienced halfback pairing and isnt ideal, but may be worth a gamble.
Scott Moore could go scrum half and allow Eastmond to go stand off. That would give us more organisation in the middle.
Alternatively Wilkin could play Stand off.
