Folau's ball handling and skill level is much lower than SBW. Front line defence SBW has him covered. Which is probably why he is at fullback.

Any other examples of Folau doing this?

While not my favourite player, I believe one D. Campese might be able to dispute your assertion.

SBW was a forward in league, Folau was one of the best backs in the game, you're kidding yourself if you think SBW has more ball skills than him. SBW was quite one dimensional, in an effective way. He had the offload and big frame ala league backrower. He rarely got on the outside of people with pace. You'll understand once you see Folau play.

Why are you comparing these two?
It's apples and oranges.
Would you compare Genia with Dan Carter, or a prop with a flanker?

You do realise you are talking to a guy who is a leaguie first and foremost and then a rugby guy? So try not to be too condescending please. That's all I ask.
Folau is a good line runner, strong and of course is an excellent leaper that has scored many tries from kicks. He very rarely drew a winger in and then set up his own winger with a well timed pass. He has a lower football IQ than SBW.
Sonny got on the outside of a number of players. He has this little stutter step that freezes the defender and then can either step inside and make a half break and offload to a support player or he can get on the outside and draw the man or offload to a player outside of him.

There isn't really anything else to post yet... unless we post NRL highlights.
Complete with absolutely atrocious soundtrack. Best enjoyed with the volume off.

right because he would only pass the ball in trial games..
The guy hasn't played an official Super Rugby game yet.
And I seem to remember SBW having quite a good rookie year with the Crusaders.

And how many of his Toulon games did you watch?

Neither Folau or SBW play for Brumbies, you've spammed multiple pages on this thread now.. can you move it along?

To'omua played well tonight, not that I'm shocked that the best 10 in history and a world cup winning coach know what they're doing with selection, but I was scared he'd just flop.

Gotta say, the Brums are looking a mite scary for the rest of us. They didn't quite have that last 1% tonight in the second half, but the Rebels of old would have had 50 against them.
Bodes well for Wallabies, not so well for Tahs, Reds et al. Could be tough to beat in the Aussie conference this year.

I predict that no Aus team will win all their derbies.
