[QUOTE="donmcdazzle, post: 692664, member: 44093"] He kicked 50% which were the sort of numbers you were slating Cruden for, so you should equally be slating Barrett. He also missed two that were not tricky at all and were important. That last one he missed after the Kaino try would have put us 4 points ahead and was 15m wide of the posts, that was a huge kick. Earlier he had slotted one from 48m and another one from the sideline. As I said before the game he is inconsistent with his goal kicking. I agree on his potential to break open a game, but I think it was pretty clear that he is best suited doing that with 15-20 mins to go, and probably from fullback. As a starting 10 he struggles to get the back line going. This was the same against SA and Aus without the rush defence that the Welsh used. Throwing him on at the end to be a first receiver option and also to counter attack is pretty valuable, but again I don't think he is the guy to start at all. [/QUOTE]
