At the moment Bullock isn't on the field long enough to take the steam out of a boiling kettle, he needs much more game time.

Might work.

These posts are from my husband who has been involved in rugby as a player and coach for 50 years,and he says we have got to have faith in Hanley in his preferred position or let him go,don't forget he is an international fullback.
