[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 512288, member: 24910"] I don't think he is a great international lock, but I think he is better than you are making out. As madflyhalf mentions, he does a lot of good work at the breakdown - something the Wallabies really need with Sharpe (and Higginbotham) spending most of their time standing out in the backline! I think he is 'missing in action' because he is stuck doing a lot of the unseen work that is vital for a team to operate (and I consider a primary role of a tight-forward). I think Australia's tight-five will struggle a lot more this week without him, as Timani is much more likely to be standing beside Sharpe in the backline than helping his fellow forwards at the breakdown.....
