[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 919868, member: 73144"] Bred anyway. Born Dayton, Ohio. I’m one who’s unconvinced by Shields. As well as the daft pass I seem to remember one tackle where it took him around 15 metres to get his man. Quiet in SA too in the summer. So far he doesn’t seem to be a massive upgrade, if an upgrade at all, on what we’ve produced domestically. He’s been fast tracked and had we not had the injuries at 8 he’d almost certainly have started last week, based purely on reputation, ahead of the MoM Wilson who is English born and bred and been playing in the GP for the best part of a decade. He’s eligible so I want him to succeed, but if he doesn’t provide that bit extra his selection gives the wrong message to our young players. [/QUOTE]
