[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 948046, member: 65365"] Where do you get these stats from? Every time I see stats in rugby they are either wrong or just missing the important elements . Ardies running game is not by a long way the best aspect of his game. If he had the same running game as Todd he would still be the best player in the world. The way he moves players at the ruck on attack is his best quality. His decision making is his second best quality. His defensive ruck play in terms of turnovers, or contributions to turnovers, or legally slowing the ball down is his third best quality. I just read last night that Scott Robertson reckons Ardie is the best player in super rugby too. I don’t think there is such a thing as #1 job for a seven because it depends on the makeup of the team what their role is. Certainly I wouldn’t say owning the advantage line on defence would rank as #1 in the majority of 7 roles. And if it really was the most important thing then Michael hooper would be number one by some distance. I would encourage you to watch Ardie for a game, in terms of everything he does, because if you are just seeing his running you are not seeing Ardie. [/QUOTE]
