[QUOTE="Dumbo, post: 70547"] Hill as stated above missed most of the start of the Super 14 due to injury. He made a few appearances at 12 outside Donald (which proved to be a good combination). Overall attributes... good off loader, good line breaker, very good tactical kicker, good goal kicker and an average defence (sorry - more an unproven defence). The thing that is missing is play making, he has shown in the limited games that he plays that he adds an exciting element to the number 10 jersey - more often than not taking the ball from set play mobile and not flat footed and ready to attack the line. At 28 maybe his time is running out to be an international. It was a major shame for him not to play a complete season for the Chiefs this year as he might have had a long shot for the All Blacks in the internationals leading up to the Tri Nations (due to Nick Evans possibly being out with injury). Compared to other 1st5's in NZ, he's no Carter or McAlister, maybe rated under Evans but he's a long way ahead of Lavea. [/QUOTE]
