TBF, we all thought that about Finn as well - but that's working out pretty well so far.

If true, then the presumption is that he's taking Coka's place* in the starting XV (unless Grace stays and shows his League class in Union). JvG has also talked about adding a new layer each season - initially of course, we all assumed that was just so much management speak, but he does seem to be walking the walk as well.

Might be worth noting that, even with Muir and Coka on the wings, Bath have scored more tries than any other team at this half-way point - plenty of which do come on from the back 3 (I make it 13, vs 15 for Bristol's back 3).


My issue isn't that Bath would be a poor fit for him, but that he's all "potential", and little "realised" at this point in time; with a great highlights reel, that makes him overpriced.

Having said that, as a replacement for Coka, I'd expect him to get a fair few more tries than Coka - if only because he's better than 50:50 at catching a rugby ball.



*Coka's place, of course, is being a workshy highlights reel who's full of potential that's yet to be properly realised; generating a threat on the wing to keep defences honest, and allow the centres a bit more room to shine.
