[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 712671, member: 56767"] Yes, but right now I'm not sure if he is continuing to improve Wales or is actually holding them back. Once upon a time Jamie Roberts was a freak of nature in the backline. Now he is just another big unit. Plan A has been getting built since late 2008 - thats coming on 7 years. There has only been an extraction of creativity in that time (no more Henson, Byrne & S. Williams) and replacement with uniformly straight hard runners*. *An exception being the recent introduction of The Rat Williams - who, give the man his dues - can be deceptively creative. You'd have to wonder how many problems the Welsh 3/4 line could pose if they were being conducted by Rhys Patchell from 12 rather than led like a battering ram by Jamie Roberts at 12. [/QUOTE]
