[QUOTE="Peat, post: 321958, member: 42330"] Yeah, this I've no argument with. I think to a certain extent this is a development of overuse of statistics. It's hard to statistically verify decision making but easy to verify athletic potential... so we can concentrate on that. And part sheer wrongful headedness too mind. Look at the success of Brand Haskell... great athlete, one of the smallest rugby brains in the Northern Hempisphere. There needs to be a far bigger emphasis on technical skills and the top 4 inches over here. It also helps to explain how despite the great amount of young players we're producing, we don't really have much at fly-half... [/QUOTE]
