[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 786973, member: 58362"] Is this [I]Jack[/I] Nowell you're talking about?!? He is many things, but quick (for an international winger) isn't one of them. I recall him being run down quite easily by a centre in an AP match. I can understand why anyone wouldn't rate him, he doesn't excel in any one aspect of the game that stands out, but (with the possible exception of a lack of pace) he doesn't have any glaring weaknesses. He has very quick feet, he defends well, he's strong in contact, he looks for work and has a great work rate. If you have a preference for an out and out finisher in the wing, you're not going to rate him, but his finishing isn't all that bad and the sum of his other contributions adds greatly to his value to any team. I just wish that Exeter and England would put their heads together and figure out his best position! [/QUOTE]
