Re: Third Test
Poor old Patchell is in danger of going the way of most utility payers. i.e. Nowhere (cf. James Hook). It's time to nail down a slot for him and stick with it. I'd like to see him at fly half (but think he might make a decent enough12, though he would need time there). He is fast, has a big boot, is a natural footballer and willing to run the ball. Biggar has done well for Wales. He's a superb goal kicker, line kicker and defender and is probably the best in the world at chasing and reclaiming his own up-and-unders. But he plays deep, hardly threatens the gain line and does not get the best out of the outside backs. He does not look like a natural attacking FH. That said, the outside backs themselves need a bit of a shakeup, especially in midfield. The Jamie Roberts bosh approach has run its course.Sandydragon wrote:If his defence wet better then I think he would make a tidy centre.

He will be playing at 10 for the Scarlets next season...

Re: Third Test
I've always thought his D was pretty good. It kinda got lost in the sh*tstorm of Cardiff being so poor.Sandydragon wrote:If his defence wet better then I think he would make a tidy centre.
