[QUOTE="ruggabee, post: 612305, member: 70704"] I gotta admit. He did grow into the game, but I'm still to be convinced. Showed pace and some nice flicks I didn't know he had. But as a centre? That's what I have issue with because he seems to have played his best rugby at fullback. This weekend's performance was at fullback. He jumped to the head of the queue as a centre for Ireland and I think it's because he's youthful with all the physical attributes. The coaches probably think they can turn him into a centre. I can understand bringing him into the camp to be tutored by BOD but why don't others who can play centre get that tutoring? Not very fair. If he's to be touted for international selection then it should be at fullback until he's actually shown consistent performances at centre for his club. It's not something I want to make a big issue over as it's one of those things where only time will tell. I'll just have a slice of the humble pie for now :p [/QUOTE]
