Who drops out when Jack Buchanan is fit?

[teegasm]

Buchanan is a stats man but he just doesn't make enough impact with the 100+ metres he averages per game.

If the current pack carry on like they are for form, i don't see him cracking it unless he finds a new level in his game.

He'd be a decent replacement for Woods come origin time as they have similar-ish styles of play- work-horse big minute props

I too see him as a sensible replacement when Woods is out and going by his comments, Potter holds a similar view. Whilst I, like all supporters, am enjoying the extra oomph the pack now has, a longer minute worker up front is still needed to balance things and allow the impact props to shine.

Jack carries little or no extra weight and has put on some kilos in the off season which will help him hold his own, but could still do with a few more.
