[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 526985, member: 24910"] And, most importantly, play for the Reds ;) Both arguably have better kicking games than McCabe, though as I mentioned before McCabe's kicking game is fine for an international 12. They are also better distributors than McCabe, but in Harris's case that is where the advantages he has over McCabe end. As I mentioned before, I quite like Tapuai's running game, but saying Harris can run is like saying Quade Cooper can tackle. He can physically do it, but he is not any good at it! He would be one of the least threatening midfield players in Super Rugby - teams just drift of him, as even if he does run (which is seldom) he doesn't do it with any effect. While McCabe's running lacks subtlety, he is a very powerful runner who always gets over the advantage line, and makes more than the odd linebreak as he runs great lines. Defensively McCabe is in a completely different league to both Tapuai and Harris - I remember Australia winning a semi-final against South Africa on the back of his impenetrable defense (Pocock / Lawrence helped a bit too....).
