I was impressed by Chris Taripo. Or is 21 too old to be classed as a Youngster? He scored some cracking tries!

Isn't Tomkins our top metre maker and assists? |

Back on subject Milford and Hurrell are my votes, but Dylan Napa would have got one. Danny Addy has been outstanding for Scotland.

I've voted for Milford as i'm the proud owner of his Shirt and Shorts from Mondays game.
Going to get it framed and put on the bedroom wall. (Mrs won't be happy).

I went for Milford and Sheck, but could have easily picked a few others on there. There has been some fabulous talent on show in this tournament.

It's now Anthony Milford slightly in front of Matthew Russell, with George Burgess further back on third place. Then there is a big gap to Konrad Hurrell, narrowly ahead of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, with Morgan Escare in 6th place, clearly in front of Joseph Leilua. The rest are insignificant.
Next weekend's games could see some changes in the ratings. Hurrell however, won't have another chance to impress.

Dylan Napa would have got a vote from me aswell, looks a top prospect. Some real talent in the list, hard to believe some of them are as young as they are.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has deserved my vote after his Man of the Match performance for New Zealand today.
I am surprised that not more people have voted for him.

After today's performance, surely Marika Koroibete deserves some votes!

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

He was immense - that run down the touchline when he visibly turned on turbo was astonishing |

Yet it is exciting to think that Koroibete's best days are still ahead of him. |

Joey Leilua has been dominating his opponents up till today, but he more than met his match against Waqa and Koroibete.
Milford didn't look as impressive against a well structured defence either.
Koroibete has probably been taking tips from Uate I think. Uate has been playing like an extra forward in his own half for a few years - as one of his trainers told me a few years ago speed = power, and he loves to use his power. Koroibete has not been very impressive so far this tournament, but today he played like Uate, and not just as a speedy winger and a good finisher, but as a metre eater doing hit ups.

It is interesting that Uate as been coaching Koroibete. The Fiji team must be developing its individual player components just by being together on tour. We need to have more internationals involving Fiji. That would be a lure for some undiscovered talents in country, and the NRL recruitment officers would have a great time.
If Super League clubs want to find new three quarter line talent that is currently in short supply in England, they could do no better than to send their recruitment officers to Fiji, accompanied by Andrew Johns and Brad Fittler.
Yesterday Fiji was playing three specialist wingers in its three quarter line with Sisa Waqa in the centres. They also played another young winger Radradra in the forwards!
I would think that if there was a 4x 100 metres sprint relay between all the World Cup teams Fiji would win it comfortably.
