[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 675500, member: 43875"] as far as NZ or world wingers go IMO nothing beats Rokocoko in his prime, not even Lomu. Savea has a fantastic scoring rate but at the ~25 test mark Rokocoko was actually a long way ahead. Just a shame it only really lasted a few years. Seemed it was just joes body type, his fijian genetics. I remember Ted saying that Joe could not train too much because he would put on too much muscle and it slowed him down. I cant help but feel its going to be really hard for Savea to maintain his strikerate, wingers seem to peak very young he's 24 now I think by the time he's 26 he wont be averaging a try a match anymore, I think he will need to slim down to maintain some pace but the good thing is his hands and skill set are superb and the subtle parts of his game are improving with experience.
