He is not being destroyed. He has said himself that scrummaging techniques in NZ and France are the exact opposites, so he has had trouble adapting (more than one full season apparently...). I think that the main problem is that he hasn't dominated as he was expected to, so the Toulon president has publicly criticized him in the press, which hasn't made things better.So, that the scrummaging style in France is different makes that he is less effective (due to his partners' technique, mostly), bu I guess he could still dominate a french scrummaging unit if he had kiwis around him.Again, no scrum expert, so I may be wrong.</blockquote>
