[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 585462, member: 48703"] He was the key influence on the Bulls successful 2010 Super 14 campaign retaining their ***le. Then got injured a for an entire year with his shoulder, and came back for Super Rugby and injured his knee ligaments and was out for 2 months, and then wasn't at his best at the RWC having played just 2 matches beforehand. Now assuming you have highly likely watched as much Japanese domestic rugby as I have (not much), that means you are saying he has regressed permanently based on relatively few matches coming back from a serious injury? For all we know he might have regained full match fitness with match time and be doing really well in Japan. Equally he may have just declined with age or the injury just taken the zip out of him, we don't know as it's impossible to watch Japanese rugby outside Japan. But to say he has regressed immensely is immensely unfair having only seen him play a dozen matches coming back from long injury problems in the last 2 years or so. [/QUOTE]
