[QUOTE="Zed, post: 545605, member: 38503"] Yeah he may be quick, but that's only one out of 4 or 5 important skills he would need to have. And that's not even taking into consideration things like positional play. Wing is one of the hardest positions to play, especially from a positional perspective. For example a scrum on the half way line, with a huge blind side, a wing that does not have years of experience could easily be found out. Too flat, they kick, too deep they run, too close to the scrum, they draw and pass or wrap. Potentially he could score lots of tries, but I would imagine his defensive frailties (speculating here) and inexperience would result in a lot of leaked tries. A decent 10 can make an inexperienced winger or fullback look like a complete c[SIZE=1]Ü[/SIZE]nt. Also there are lots of techniques a team and players can employ to reduce the impact a very quick guy can have (well at 15s anyway). [/QUOTE]
