[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 841189, member: 13739"] If Howley needed reminding what Sam Davies offers, last nights Edinburgh v Ospreys game hopefully did so. Despite atrocious conditions, his moment of brilliance was the difference between the sides, whilst he also showed composure in kicking a tough penalty. His kicking out of hand was also superb all evening, finding grass 90% of the time. With all the talk of his attacking strengths it's easy to forget that his biggest strength is probably his kicking game. He can kick off his left and right feet as well, which is a big bonus under pressure. He's not some flashy 10 who's good going forwards but struggles at the basics of controlling the game and relieving pressure. With Sam Davies also currently the most accurate place kicker in the Pro12, arguably the only part of Biggar's game which is superior is his defense. So I don't see this change as some massive gamble. Hopefully last nights performance will convince Howley to start Sam! [/QUOTE]
