[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 628530, member: 34990"] May is nowhere near as being made out here (though I don't think he's quite as good as jnuh makes out either :p). I really do like him, though, and I don't think he's done anything really wrong. Does crab a lot, but then it often pays off for Gloucester. He gave away one penalty doing it today, I wouldn't say it's a mmmaaajjjoorrr issue. If he'd have run straight forward he'd have hit defence, why not dance around a bit and try and find a mismatch? Not like there was a lot on on the halfway line that he's scuppered. I'd rather our wingers are allowed to play naturally/to their instincts than tell them to stick on the wing and if they get the ball then to run straight forwards. I like both Nowell and May - they've both gone, for the most part, well this Six Nations. Yarde and Wade won't walk straight back in to the side, and that's a good thing as competition will only push the players harder. The way I view it is we have Wade vs May, as two wingers who can spark something from nothing/can beat defenders for fun with agility/speed, and Yarde vs Nowell as the more defensively solid/powerful wingers - not sure whether this is actually the case, as I can't remember which wings Yarde/Wade play on/whether they can do both. Could pick two names out of a hat and end up with a top draw wing partnership though. And, as May and Nowell can both play 15, hopefully Wade/Yarde coming back to fitness will spell the end of Goode in the 23. [/QUOTE]
