[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1005085, member: 59968"] Same here. It’s equally easy to play Devil’s advocate on Umaga though and say that he is massively helped by having Gopperth as a second set of eyes and goal kicker. I can’t help feeling that he is able to play the way he does because he’s not under the same level of individual pressure, I think he’s a talented player, but definitely not more so than Simmonds. Steering your team to win the biggest prize in European rugby is the biggest achievement outside of test rugby and that has to count for something. As a Quins fan, I have to give a shout out to Marcus Smith ... he has neither the benefit of a dominant pack or an experienced campaigner guiding him from 12 and kicking goals and is almost always individually good.
