[QUOTE="BobbyM, post: 850008, member: 73737"] We can agree to disagree in that case then. From what I've seen he can pick a gap, or a person to turn into a gap, and does that successfully, making gameline meters often with his ball carries. I'm actually fairly happy with his offence, particularly at Leinster. Defensively though I don't feel he's been tested sufficiently. He's played what must be around 150 mins of international test rugby, with what say an hour of that against Fiji, off-colour Scotland and Italy. Each of those times it's been off the bench where he's up against a tired centre partnership less able to cause damage. I still stand by my belief that I am not able to conclude on his defensive strength on the basis of such limited experience. We can certainly agree he hasn't the kicking game of many 12's nowadays!
