[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1218394, member: 13739"] I've claimed for a couple of years now that the current law interpretations just doesn't suit his game at all. He would have thrived 10 years ago, but now you're lucky to secure a couple of jackals a game at international level with the refs very struct on tacklers rolling, hand on the ground, supporting body weight etc. He's got a good engine on him and always has good tackle stats, so he does offer that. But, he isn't a good ball carrier, or link player, and for me you need to offer one of those at least nowadays to be considered a test level flanker. Wales are despirate for ball carriers, so it's a no brainer to me to bring Wainwright in at 6, who's an excellent athlete. Then I also don't see what Reffell offers off the bench, he isn't an impact player, or overly versatile. [/QUOTE]
