But I do worry that he offers some experience & guile and we'd miss that if he went, with only Douglas being left for the role of 'canny old pro'. LMS is a character and gives his all, but isn't what you'd call a thinking man's prop. Walmsley again is more brawn than brain. None of Thompson (who is like Ram Man), Lees or Ashworth are experienced or subtle (I think Ashworth has potential to be).
