[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 520069, member: 24910"] I didn't say that though, did I ;) I believe I stated that he had a couple of [I]great[/I] games for the AB's last season (the semi-final vs Australia that you have already mentioned, as well as the pool game vs France, and the match vs South Africa in South Africa all stand out to me). He was good in the first Irish test this year, poor in the second (and almost cost the AB's game by getting yellow carded), and quiet in the third. A solid enough performance from an AB's fullback? Yes. Good enough for him to be [I]guaranteed[/I] the AB's 15 jersey all this season? No, not in my opinion. There is no doubt that Dagg all the talent to nail down the AB's fullback for the next 5+ years, and could even go down as one of the greats (as he is phenomenal when on form). However, he needs still needs to cut down his error rate and perform more consistently, otherwise there are a number of NZ fullbacks that could pressure him for a starting spot.... [/QUOTE]
