[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1125675, member: 74121"] I've never got the Fickou love (I see in the BBC link everyone picks him). He is a steady player but doesnt seem to pound it through the gain line, make line breaks or facilitate others. Huw is an absolute worldly to me and always has been since i first saw him score four tries in a game for the Stormers. Take VDM's leaping try against Italy. Swap out Huw for Fickou and I'd argue it simply never happens - Huw's pace and decisiveness to recover a semi broken play held 4 Italian defenders in terror, granting VDM space. France at centre is the single reason I can't put them in my top 2 for the RWC. I'd put Huw level with a fit Ringrose (who is really developing some power now) and only behind Am globally. It's kind of amazing how good Italy looked offensively in almost every game when there isn't a single player of theirs I'd put anywhere near the conversation for any position other than Capuozzo (who missed the last two matches so cannot really be included).
