[QUOTE="ZeFrenchy, post: 418722, member: 47244"] He's not flashy at all and the Australian media and fans seem to dislike him. Apparently they think he's too "goofy" or something. I visit an australian forum regularly and the opinions against him are often of the sort "he should change his haircut" or "I thought he was a good player until I heard him speak". Talking rugby now, he is a very good defender (excellent actually), although he doesn't make any hit taht will appear on tv. On attack, he is a bit slow but he always gains meters (although very rarely breaks the line), and his passing is safe but far from spectacular. So he's basicaly quite similar to Ant Fainga'a, although I think Ant has some more "unpredictability" in attack. There was clearly no space for both in the WC squad, but I think it wasn't fair not to include him in the 40. [/QUOTE]
