[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 965238, member: 65365"] In terms of his involvement with the ball on attack He went relatively anonymous during his transition from follower to leader in the midfield , but I still think he was excellent for the little things he does. Like no one else in the world he consistently puts in big plays to turn half opportunities into tries and he’s been doing this forever. Things like if his team has made a break and gets tackled he will clean the ruck or play halfback. Or simply if he sees an overlap needing quick ball he will clean the ruck, and he is very good at it. Actually there were two tries against Namibia that wouldn’t have been scored if it weren’t for his cleanout. He will up the risk in terms of his offloads when the reward is high and the cost is low, ie when a successful offload would create a big opportunity that wouldn’t be there with any other play. There are other subtleties that are hard to articulate. Yeah swinging isn’t dangerous unless it’s stiff. [/QUOTE]
