[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 968219, member: 56738"] [USER=73648] Yeah he did (as did all the Japanese to be fair) he was also very good when he came on after about 15 minutes against Samoa. He is currently well up there in terms of the 6’s. Himeno also played well in the position for Japan during certain matches this World Cup. Curry has looked at his usual high standard but at 6 for England (instead of 7)... the only question mark is the lack of real competition for them so far, which will change now we’re at the knock out stages. Ardie and PSTD for NZ and SA have both been good (particularly Ardie) but apart from that first match, I don’t think you can take much from the subsequent games. Pocock hasn’t been anywhere near his usual standard for Oz I think... and has even been overshadowed by Hooper. Ireland have chopped and changed, so very difficult to get a gauge. POM was fine while he was on against the Scots, Ruddock was great for a match but it was against the Russians and Beirne was ‘decent’ against Tonga. Wales has chopped and changed a little too but mostly played Wainwright on the blind, he’s looked very good to be fair but has rarely played more than 50 minutes. Navidi has slotted in there fine when needed too. So far, I’d still kinda have to go with Ardie off of the basis that I thought he was exceptional in the one game that mattered for the All Blacks and in my opinion should have got the PotM award. Closest competitor at the moment... Leitch.[/user] edit. I got a random underline again for some reason. [/QUOTE]
