[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 632717, member: 24910"] I think he's a bit of a thug. I don't rate him that highly as a hooker either - he is a solid test player, but hardly outstanding in my opinion (though to be fair I probably only watch him play 3-4 times a year for England). I think if he had stayed in New Zealand he would have been stuck firmly behind Mealamu and Hore (who I consider much better players in their primes), and probably left New Zealand looking for better money. Even if you offered him now I would be relatively happy to stick with Coles and an ancient Mealamu. Obviously my opinion may change if he plays well against us in a few months time! [/QUOTE]
