Well, good to go to Connaught and get the wing I suppose.
Matthew Morgan looked like he wanted to get stuck in defencively, made an attempt to tackle and rip a few times.
Bloody good sidestep on him, by the way.

Morgan's defense was far more like it, agreed- Give it a year and he could be threatening Priestland.

His defensive efforts were a lot better. If in a year's time his playing is putting pressure on Priestland - or the 'rockstar' as Will Greenwood called him on this week's Rugby Club show - then that will be great as far as developing strength in depth is concerned.

A year might be too soon. I think Nipper has bulked up a bit, and it's certainly good to see him giving it a go, but he still has a ways before his defence is up to an acceptable international level. If he can get to Quade Cooper's level, then he should be worth a shot. Perhaps we should borrow Allan Bateman's arms and give them to Morgan. No more defence problems!

Good plan. I'm sure Jamie Roberts could arrange that once he passes his exams.
