[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 1038647, member: 72409"] He's got some leap though, and holds his own. Wouldnt outjump Folau or Kearney, but he's solid Really? He makes outside breaks so often popping up outside 13, and his show and go's, people know he's going to run and still cant stop him. Its not even his top end pace so much as the rapid acceleration, which is arguably more important To say Williams is better defensively, I'd argue that too. He's taller, but that doesnt make him better (Hogg is 5'11 btw) Top back this up, Hogg had 16 tackle attempts in 6 nations, missed one. Liam WIlliams had 11 attempts, missed 3 Positionally too, he's come on leaps and bounds, dont often see the ball bouncing with him, and as Mentioned his boot is what I'd want in a kicking game anyway One final point... Hogg beat 16 defenders with 5 clean breaks Liam Williams had 0 Beaten defenders and 1 clean break Surprised by how big this differential is actually, hot damn [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.rugbypass.com/players/stuart-hogg/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.rugbypass.com/players/liam-williams/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
