[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 204155"] Varndell is a sniper, the one (only) good thing about him is his pace allows him to get to those spots where tries can be handed to him on a platter. That said, if a prop had been in his position to receive the ball, his tally for this season could have been cut down to a quarter and Leicester still would have taken the 5 every time - The only try of note by him I genuinely applaud was that somewhat stunning effort against Quins on the last day. Ashton on the other hand is just as quick (if not slightly faster), with the added bonuses of being able to catch, pass, defend (normally in a legal fashion) and spot a gap. His tactical kicking is also surprisingly good. Also, I don't care what league you're in or who you're up against, 40 tries in less then 30 games (when your also still learning the game and are barely out of your teens) is nothing short of spectacular.
