[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 299051"] Hook's got a decent turn of speed, certainly as quick as most centres. Just trying to think of any centre with pace to burn. O'Driscoll certainly doesn't have the pace of old, neither does D'Arcy. Giteau, DeVillers, Fourie etc. etc. also don't have the pace of wingers. Pace is a great asset, but there's no need to chuck an inexperienced player into a position he's never played before at international level. You probably realised that anyway, and it's an idea I've seen suggested before. Usually it's Tom James' name that comes up, as he usually does well coming in field for the Blues. He's still a little raw at wing though, never mind centre. Jamie Robinson was probably the quickest centre Wales have had in recent years. Pitty he suffered so many injuries in his early career, cos I remember being so excited when he burst on the scenes as a younster for Cardiff, he had serious pace back then! [/QUOTE]
