Quote: G1 "I'm not surprised at all. He looked great last pre season and look out of hid depth when the real stuff started. I'd imagine he's down the pecking order for a reason. If and when he gets another shot I hope he's improved and he takes it.'"
I agree with what you said had this been a league match, but you missed the main point of what I put. We have a sqad of 19 players playing in the game, and only three props. I therefore would have thought as it is a friendly and he has "apparently" impressed so far that he would have been tested in that game.
Does playing academy rugby really push him back up the pecking order? or would playing well in this game be a better indicator?
