And he said, no, we see him as a flanker.

And I knew he played there a little bit in France, but next week they put him in there and it's been so eye-catching, so compelling.

But as I said, I'd love to see that breakdown.

But to me, yeah, getting back to it, that

So you've got a guy who can cover wing and center very well, but can also play at seven, I think potentially at number eight too with that explosive speed of his.

that allows you a 6-2 split.

If he's one of the six, and then you have a backup, say, halfback, say, a Hotham or a Ratham or whoever, your backup halfback, and whoever it's going to be, and I don't want to light a fire under something, but is it Barrett, is it McKenzie, is it whoever in that, or Ruben Love as your backup 5-8th stroke fullback,

That allows you the luxury of a guy who can be almost equally effective now as a back or as a forward.

And it gives you that counter to a degree to what the spring box are likely to throw at you.

Yeah.

And look, I'm stressing, I'm not seeing him as a starting number seven in Test Rugby.

Far from it.

I'm just saying that it gives them that flexibility to enable them to go with that 6-2 split, that he can come in late in the game and do a job wherever he's required.

But, you know, I watched that episode and talking about the ability to put pressure on the inside backs of the opposition, all these guys.

crafty things that guys like Richie McCaw and Sam Kane and George Smith and David Pocock and these guys all learn from playing years and years and years there.

The craft of being number seven is very exacting at test level.

As I say, it just gives you that flexibility, that ability to put them there late in the test match, last 10, 15, 20 minutes maybe, or on the wing.

It just gives you

more flexibility with your bench at a time where the bench is just becoming such an important factor in the outcome of rugby matches at whatever the level.

Well, that's what's exciting about it.
