London Irish said:There is also not a hope in hell that Virgo will be dropped back to defence. Read McGhee's comments on how that affected the team's shape in the second half at Forest, he feels without Virgo up front we don't pressure teams enough up there. He's basically saying McPhee can't do the job as well, and I agree. The idea of playing a small guy like Piercy up there is a joke and ignores all the lessons of the season so far.
I agree with this post entirely. We need Virgo's physical presence up front to continue playing a style of football that suits the players we have at our disposal.
Piercy ain't a bad player, but he's not the target man we need, and neither (unfortunately, cos I like him) is McPhee.
