[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 887399, member: 73592"] As I say - think of him as being Faletau Jr; who's training with Faletau; and getting some game-time across the backrow... alongside Faletau. What he hasn't got yet, is enough experience of being an adult amongst adults; he's still a bit too accustomed to being a big kid amongst other kids. His footwork is absolutely fantastic; and he's really learned off... well, Faletau; how to lunge forward to take contact, and semi-bounce the tackler, but to then backpeddal or spin his way past. He's big enough to do it (still lacking a good 5-10kg IMO), but thinks he's big enough to do that, and then carry on through as he expecte the tackler to fall off, rather than adjust and go again, or have backup arriving in double-quick time. When he moves his point of contact in the tackle, and gets half-through he ties in defencers, and has a pretty good offload; and it really is that footwork that sets him apart IMO. [/QUOTE]
