[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 676894, member: 24910"] I have been impressed with Black this season, but I wouldn't have thought he was better than Mo'unga or Damien McKenzie. He is certainly a better goal-kicker and tackler than either Mo'unga or McKenzie, seems to have good composure, and can take the ball well to the line on occasion. Mo'unga and particularly McKenzie are on a completely different level in terms of ball running / distribution than Black IMO though. Though that doesn't in itself make them a better players, it does make it easier to identify them as players of immense potential, which (rightly or wrongly) is the main thing Super Rugby franchises will be looking for in very young players (not that Black doesn't have a lot of potential, it perhaps just isn't as obvious as Mo'unga's/McKenzie's).
