[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 527062, member: 48703"] I didn't say McCabe should be Australia's winger. Just saying that he's not too slow to be. McCabe You are wrong here. Perhaps you haven't seen much of him but he is as quick, and probably quicker than most of those names. Can't believe you are citing Digby Ioane, Lwazi Mvovo and Shane Williams as players who make him look "not that quick". I reckon you are just saying that as he is an Argentine and used to slower wingers like Agulla and Camacho, but Imhoff is different, he is an athlete. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/W1YpZHKTU48" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> Go to 2:26 on this video, from starting slightly behind Imhoff outpaces the Sharks last defender. Some of the players you mentioned would have been caught. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vcjuxzK8mRY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> Go to 2:54 on this video, Imhoff is chased by Marcel Garvey (a player often touted as being quick) who chases but doesn't close the gap at all. His out and out pace is certainly an asset, and can hold his own with most of those wingers you mentioned, and would probably be quicker than some of them as well. Camacho is not "too slow" for those countries, he's not good enough for them, there's a difference. And I reckon he may have got caps for Wales and possibly Ireland as a reserve for injuries just not been first choice. And certainly could have got in the Scotland team ahead of Lee Jones. You are also trying to say I have been rubbishing Camacho which is false. I just identified that he has a weakness in terms of pace, line breaking, try scoring ability, and ability to magic something out of nowhere. His try scoring record is poor, even if he has been playing well. But I have also identified his strengths as well, he is one of the best defenders for his size, is sometimes hard to hold onto and wriggles a few metres here and there (and has been getting involved much better this RC than in last year's RWC). And given him credit that he's performed well this tournament, and has shown his best form in a Pumas shirt and outplayed Agulla who coming into the tournament had come off his best club season and was the more senior winger. So I haven't rubbished him at all. Just identified an area of his game he isn't so strong in. [/QUOTE]
