[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 553699, member: 43875"] Ben Smith can not be rated too highly IMO Huge workload and lots of energy on attack. I think the best thing about him is his error rate, for the amount of work he gets through his error rate is tiny. I compared his overall stats to Toeava's a couple of years ago when they were basically the two best fullbacks. Their attacking stats were similar with Toeava having a slight advantage but Smiths overall error rate was less than Half what Toeava's was. That level of skill he has is very rare. He's been very unlucky not to get more test gametime. His Form overall has been better than Dagg and Jane in super rugby but they have held their test starting spots ahead of Smith, even though his form warrants he get more than the odd run of the bench.
