I am reserving judgement until I see how he performs when challenged with high balls (which Georgia didn't do), and he demonstrates an ability to counter attack (as distinct from just kicking back) as well as inject himself into the backline as a potent attacking threat. While he was mostly safe (defence aside) in the Georgia game and kicked well, he was well short of an all round high level fullback performance. I fear he will be exposed as such against better sides.
ERRRR a couple of years ago we beat them 27-8.
gap is increasing lads
Georgia beat Wales just last year
Yeah they left quite a few points out there. E.g. the failed mauls at the end of either half. The constant refusal to attack the line even with turnover ball was also kinda stupid. They gotta get better at knowing when to attack or when to play for territory.
Scores 2 tries but didnt prove to inject himself as an attacking threat? What greater threat is there than someone who scores a try?
So he ran two supporting lines with no one on front of him to beat and now he’s some great attacking threat?
You can try all you want to belittle his performance but there's a reason why he was MOTM.
He had a strong game against Georgia, where he was put under very little pressure- let’s not blow a gasket. He now has back that up again (and again).
I’m not belittling it at all- I’m trying to provide a little bit of perspective- his motm award didn’t come from his attacking flair; it came from a strong rounded performance (basically good kicking in general play and at goal).
Jorgo kicks?
