[QUOTE="Hound, post: 891652, member: 75918"] I'd have him at fullback, but I don't think it hurts giving him the odd Super Rugby game at 10. Trend at International level tends to be to have two playmaker "halves" out there and the second tends to play at either 12 or 15. With New Zealand's depth of hard ball-running, offloading 12s and using the 13 as a Conrad Smith/Slade lines off the big 12 looking to offload it makes sense for that second playmaker to come in the form of a fullback slipping into the line in that role for the odd phase. Give him the odd game at 10 it lets him focus on that aspect... but yeah, he's invaluable when given space to cut teams apart. [/QUOTE]
