Great to see Pollock getting his first premiership start - and great to receive confirmation that Dowson sees him as a number 8 (he played there last week as well).


His defensive workrate is slightly low for an openside, but he could be a really excellent attacking number 8 in the style of Ardie, Earl, or Mercer.
