[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 418159, member: 38640"] Maitland has really turned me around this season. Last year when I saw him play I was a bit...meh. But this year he has really impressed me. Under the high ball he is fantastic, not so much in just competing up and unders, but more fielding kicks at pace and never looking uneasy under them. His kicking is probably the best of any winger in New Zealand, as he gets huge distance and is very accurate. When he gets the ball and there are not many option on, he doesn't dance around, doing a little side shuffle, and get driven back like Zac Guildford, but rather he hits the line with pace and gets past the advantage line for quick ball. He runs good angles and obviously he is one of the quickest men in Super Rugby as well as being big for a winger. Last season if he was selected I'd be a bit annoyed but I think he is certainly International standard and I wouldn't be too upset if he made it at the expense of some of the other wingers I like.
