[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 972531, member: 59145"] Update on 12s after the quarters: In the lead: Kerevi and Fikou cemented themselves as front runners in losing games, I really don't want to have to pick between these two but I'll have to if none of the semi-finals teams 12s step up in the interim. Still in contention: DDA has been pretty solid throughout the tournament both in defense in attack without really taking any games by the scruff, if he has standout semi and or perhaps maybe a good final he could win out here. ALB, Only played two games at 12 thus far and while he was pretty excellent in the pool game, he was just good in the quarter, again if he really steps up his game in his remaining fixture he could sneak top spot. Will need big performances: Manu and Parkes, while not having been bad haven't set the tournament alight thus far, two EXTREMELY strong performances could elevate them to the best number 12 after the semi's and final. - Manu suffers a lot from having played only about half his games at 12. Out: Nakamura/Henshaw/Aki/Farrel The Irish mixed up their 12 too much, no-one got any time to shine or really had an amazing game. Nakamura just isn't great in an exciting Japan team. All other teams that didn't leave the pools didn't have any standout 12s from what I saw. [/QUOTE]
