Thought that Shields defence was very good last year, and his work rate was up there. Outplayed Dixon and others.

And Fritz has flourished up north. One of Clermont's best.

Agree. maybe it's because when he tries to be more dynamic on attack he doesn't quite get there. That would not be an issue up north where they don't expect their loosies to do much more than defend and hit rucks.

@MN5 Probably doesn't matter bro, he didn't exist in rugby in the late 90's early 00's.

Outplayed Dixon? Damning with faint praise

Yeah, that's spot on. Shields a little more reliable defensively?

Yeah, probably hits a little harder...but the trade off being those massive mammary hands.

Excitement is in the eye of the beholder quite obviously.

This would be a big loss if he decides to go. Depth at six and eight at test level is not great, can't afford to lose Squire.

I read some of the french sites, it was extremely vague, did not at all strike me as remotely a done deal.

I think squire would be crazy to go now, he could easily cement a spot in the 23.
