[QUOTE="Slamdunk, post: 783690, member: 73736"] Perhaps with one eye on the others coming through and another eye on Tipuric, Lydiate seems to have moved away from the one-trick pony you allude to. Certainly this season he has been making yardage ball-in-hand and it seems to be an element he is working on. With that in mind he is the biggest bloke in our back row, as wide as a barn door and a huge specimen. Adding a carrying element to his game could certainly make him even more invaluable. He is good at what he does yes, but what he does is essential to the Welsh game. Lots of teams now employ the chop-tackle as a tactic and there is nobody in the world better than Lydiate, so he does in fact have a specialism. We will find out against France, it will be obvious. If Lydiate makes more than 2/3 carries in the game then it will be tactical. If he adds that to his game at international level, trust me, he could take some stopping. He is a huge man. [/QUOTE]
