[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 931385, member: 73144"] That’s what happens when talent is identified and invested in. He was a bit of a one trick pony, but has retained that USP while developing his all round game out of sight. At 28 he’s at the peak of his physical powers with the benefit of 40 caps worth of experience and an un-neutered streak of madness. Top player. Elsewhere we’ve been talking about Curries, Underhill and Earl giving competition for the 7 shirt, all excellent or potentially excellent players. That’s great, but while you need to spread experience to cover injuries or bad loss of form, I’d still prefer to see the coach largely work on the basis of picking their men and backing them long term. Experience and continuity is massive. We had it in 03, as did the Kiwis in 11 and 15 among others. [/QUOTE]
