Kinda caught between the devil and the deep blue. I don't see Latimore as offering anything more than some of our second-rowers at the mo'. I think that the expectation of a fit Ta'ai is probably wishful thinking, and I'm uneasy about throwing one of the youngsters in when the team is being messed about with anyway. Heck, the tongue-in-cheek suggestion of Manu to prop is almost as acceptable a solution.
I concede it's a bad idea, but there are many bad solutions to this problem. We seem to have classy second-rowers spilling out our ears. To have Sam and Ukuma, two of our best props out is frustrating, particuarly when Latimore who was a star as a junior hasn't stepped up when the opportunity is there for him to prove himself. My team definitely reflects a vent at his performance - I can be as irrational as the next man.
