[QUOTE="Jaguares, post: 642664, member: 63264"] You're talking about rugby coaches, so exactly this is the case, a rugby coach as Michael Cheika. He was closely watching him, he saw interesting things in him and Michael believes that he could make a good rugby player. I think Cheika has more authority as rugby coach than any of us. That doesn't mean that this guy will be the best winger in the world or anything, can be a failure, it's a bet Michael. I think like you, big players usually aren't very complete. It's what I always say about Lomu, he wasn't a complete player. He never could play at fullback, he simply didn't have the skills to play at that position. But he had the advantage of playing at a time when rugby wasn't professional, he also played in the early years of professionalism. So what happened in 1995, when he humbled to Mike Catt is something that couldn't happen today because the athletes are better trained. If Lomu is a rugby player today, if he plays against England would have to face big players such as Manu Tuilagi (110 kg) or Luther Burrell (109 kg), then he wouldn't have so much advantage as in 1995.
