[QUOTE="austingtir, post: 731874, member: 54150"] Im getting more at the fact that really this guy isnt that great an out an out first five. Sure he had a leg injury but he's never really been a great tactician flyhalf and I expect never will be. That said I think the game has changed a bit. The halfback fullback and centers also shoulder alot of the kicking its not like when Dan and Mehrts were on the scene and pretty much dominated teams on their own with less help from others. Teams tend to have a few options to kick out of their half... in Aaron Smiths case he does shoulder a bit more than he should I think though. That one box kick he did from the HL try line to the half way mark (taken by Savea and dropped before the attempted quick throw in) was pretty impressive though if he can keep that sort of kicking up then he can take them I guess.
