[QUOTE="retired9, post: 1076355, member: 79608"] A special "Finn" shelf lol. I hear you, maybe its the years and years of dull attack that affords us Scots some tolerance of the laddie. I feel like Finn is on a long road ot maturity with his style, it is miles ahead of the early days. Yes there are some howlers but it almost comes down to the throw of the dice, he plays in a mindset that is so on the edge that I'm not sure it can really be switched on and off like a switch. Full game plans yes, but mid match I don't know. On balance he is still on the right side for me, hes 29, in 2-3 years time we may have the Finn-ished (I had to) article I don't know. All nations build around their 10 which is probably why Scotland have the back 3 players at a level enviable by many, Finn utilises them all the time and they can finish moves in their sleep. The yellow cards are a frustration, although I think a word in the ear would curb that. It's rare to get everything in a 10, Sexton has grown to be one of the most well rounded, the balance between Biggar's solidity and Russell's flare (Smith is too soon to call). Dare I say Biggar is the modern S Jones? Not flash but reliable? [/QUOTE]
