[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1171755, member: 13739"] The Racing game is the one Cardiff game I haven't watched this season, so fair enough if he made some errors in that game. However, I still maintain that he's been playing well in many of Cardiff's other games this season, even if Cardiff overall have come up short. He was one of their better players early on v Ospreys and Harlequins before the opposition took control of both games. He's created try's with his offloads in midfield, and with little dinks over the defense. His box kicking has mostly been on point too with competable kicks, although this has always been the weakest part of his game, so there's usually a few duff kicks a game. He's talked about Sherratt giving him the freedom to play to his strengths, which is generally unstructured play, and I think it's shown. Historically that's not how Gatland coached sides play though, so we may never see the best of Tomos in a Welsh shirt, where box kicking accuracy and defense are probably more important skills from the scrum half, rather than the ability to create somerhing out of nothing. Gats may be forced to adjust things to suit the latest crop of players though... [/QUOTE]
