[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 484539, member: 24910"] While I agree that Rutledge made a great impact on the game, I wouldn't have him starting next week. I like what Rutledge offers around the park, but one of his few faults is that he is a pretty weak scrummager (Hore in contrast is strong at scrum time) - given we are playing the Crusaders next week (who arguably have the best scrum in the competition) we need to have as strong a scrum as possible or we will get destroyed. I thought Hore was reasonably quiet this week, but he did make a couple of good runs close to the ruck that got us some good go-forward ball (he was our best runner in this channel, along with Crosswell), and did a lot of largely unseen work slowing down the Chiefs ball at the breakdown. I think the role of 'impact player' is ideal for Rutledge, as he is at his best when the game has opened up a bit in the last 20-30 mins (after Hore has helped to wear down the opposition pack).
