Kolisi is a fetcher?I'm 100% sold on Gleeson and/or Samu @ 7 - I think Eddie will be too. Hooper (or McReight) will not win us at RWC @ 7.
Just basing this off the current trends I'm seeing at Test level and what's been successful.
Do we forget how Pocock (and Hooper) were refereed completely out of the game in the 2015 final? SA's dominance in 2019 and the Lions series didn't involve a genuine fetcher at all. Josh vdF is hardly a notable fetcher either - he's a tackling machine with good carrying ability (and height).
France use two 6.5s as well in Cros, Jelonch and Ollivon.
