[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 647542, member: 24910"] Daisuke Ohata probably has the highest strike rate for players with over 20 tries, with 69 tries in his 58 caps! I imagine Savea's 19 tries in 20 test would be highest among tier 1 nations though. Osbourne would be very unlikely. He is an interesting prospect with ball in hand. He is big, strong, and quite quick, and can offload well. However his ball handling is poor (at best), and his defense and work-rate are even worse. In any case I'm not sure whether he is eligible for NZ. I understand he has been involved in Fijian 7's squads in the past - I'm not sure whether he actually played for them though (or was just in training squads), so I'm not sure whether he is tied to Fiji or not.... If we did need another wing selection Visinia would probably be my choice. He's got plenty of pace and power, but also has a big work-rate, good hands, an educated kicking game, and strong defense.... [/QUOTE]
