[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1126311, member: 73144"] I don’t really see it that way. You sometimes see him make ground in heavy traffic with a powerful hand off but I don’t actually see him as a particularly aggressive runner. At full pelt I’d expect him to break more tackles and make more ground than he does. Others have rightly questioned his defence and his aerial game isn’t what you’d expect for a big guy. Some good offloading but the only thing we can say for sure is that he remains either unfulfilled potential or overhyped. If he can fulfil his potential he could bring something a bit different and I would love to see him succeed. More to the winger role than tries of course, but his international tries smack a bit of flat track bully. Granted he’s had injuries etc but right now his record isn’t one of influencing big games. AIs: One each against Jap, Aus and Arg RWC warm ups: 1 against Wal, 2 in that hammering of Ire RWC: 2 v USA Summer tours: 2 v USA, 2 v Canada 6N: None [/QUOTE]
