I agree he did well. I don't think he's un popular. He is obviously highly skilled. It's just being either unable or unwilling to tackle when you are six four and 16 stone is unsustainable at the top level.

Especially when you see what tiny marcus smith was doing.

You never know, not having to be the headmaster's son might be really good for him.

I think fb is Mallinders position, and he did play well last night, but he’ll have to improve under the high ball. Only caught about 1 from 6.

He was. Probably powered his magnificent, lionesque hair.

He is morphing in to Percy Montgomery

Naiyaravoro was quite rusty still in the A game, apparently dropped quite a few simple ones.

That’s kind of his thing.

Quick enough to catch a winger, running an extra 1-2 meters to get there.
Slow enough to be caught by a #8 who's running an extra 8-10 meters to get there.
