As much as I respect our full back, agree with Jake on this one, the wingers in our modern day game are much better suited to take cross field, and high kicks if they are tall and rangy with ability to out jump the opposing defender/attacker. Jamie’s height would be exposed on the flanks.

Does Regan Grace regularly get outjumped?

To be honest, any winger with a running jump, can outjump any defending winger, so height isn't an issue for me

Probably would do against the like of Burgess or a Monaghan type winger, but think about it the other way Sneyd and Albo kicking at Wembley to Tuli or Jamie size matters

Regan Grace doesnt have to jump to score his tries.High kicks to the corner is not a big play for Saints they have good to supply the pass to their wings and the pace to break from deep.
Contrast that to us and its all we have

Not sure if it has been announced but Connor Wynne has signed a full time contract with FC and was told that he'll replace Shaul eventually. I suppose that's all down to how he develops really though. Good player and if he gets his head down, he could be one hell of a player.

Who?

He's the current fullback for COHA. A very good prospect. If you follow COHA on social media, there seems to be a special try scored by him nearly every week. Before joining the academy he was touted as the next Sam Tomkins.

I work with his relative and we beat a lot of clubs for his signature, suppose to be a really good player . Let’s just hope he progresses, which isn’t always guaranteed with good young players .

Safe(ish) under the high ball at FB when he generally has time but isn;t big enough to defend effectively against cross field kicks. I'd question if anyone who doesn't see this as obvious has seen how the game has developed in the last 5 years

I'm sure that's been "coached" out of him since he joined the COHA

Teams don't kick to the corners so much these days. We are one of the few teams that still use the tactic regularly. More often its dropped on the scrum half's head. The days of Pat Richards and Monaghan scoring bags of tries from cross field kicks are gone.

Besides, he is only a whopping 2 inches shorter than Talanoa. He isn't a dwarf.

Teams use it every game but defenders deal with it better than they used to. It's also easier just to pass it to the winger against us and he'll generally have a walk in

Connor named in the England squad.

No Scott Taylor, which indicates to me he might be having surgery on his shoulder

And deserving a reet good rest

I was hoping that was the case. I know Tag will be gutted, but he really does need to get himself right and have a full close season because his body has been pretty much non stop for 3 seasons now.
