[QUOTE="donmcdazzle, post: 675115, member: 44093"] Go back and watch some youtube highlights of him in Super Rugby and the old NPC - he was ridiculous. He is almost underrated now because people cop out with the "Oh yeah he was just the first big guy so wouldn't be good anymore".. which I think is rubbish. When Savea came onto the scene he was hopeless under the high ball and couldn't kick - those were things he had to work on for a couple of years to get good at. Wingers in the 90's never really were as well rounded as they are now - the focus on those aspects didn't seem as important. Now imagine if Savea was 10-15kg bigger and faster; that is essentially what Jonah would be if he was the same age given equivalent training etc. [/QUOTE]
