@steven-harris oh sure if we were talking about 2 years ago or earlier I'd be on board. I would have been one of Lam's biggest critics and couldn't stand his lazy arse playing for NZ 7s.
We're talking about this year though when he's showing outstanding ability and no hint of laziness, the Canes seem to have brought something out of him. He's also often back covering a la fullback and has shown he has a more than adequate boot, it's bloody huge.

@billy-tell wow that's amazing! I wouldn't have the first clue about rugby and definitely don't play it at all. Guess it should be me coming on making shitty, snide, jealous sounding remarks on this thread huh.
To be fair you're a bit above your playing weight these days

Just let Sheilds go already..just in terms of a young guy coming through,just wanna get some thoughts on Shannon Frizell who is with the Highlanders quite a unit at 6’5 and 108kgs I was very impressed with this guy playing for Ta$man last year and he looked extra good against the Brumbies last weekend..maybe one for the future..?
Frizell certainly popped up in the right places a few times last night! The sort of attention-grabbing performance that might have Hansen re-running that game through his laptop to see what else he got up to.

I thought at the time that was a reckless post by @antipodean I hope he’s getting the seasoning ready
I'm intrigued about the logistics.
I'll enlist the services of an assistant to start

@antipodean gee willakers. That's the wife huh?

When Shields plays for England he will add to the phenomenon that was the 2011 JWC final.
16 of that NZ team will now have become full test players (13 of them All Blacks, 3 of them for other countries). It was also a vintage England team that year. I count 8 that I recognise as test players but probably a few others have as well.
England: 15 Ben Ransom, 14 Andy Short, 13 Elliot Daly, 12 Owen Farrell, 11 Christian Wade, 10 George Ford, 9 Chris Cook, 8 Alex Gray (capt), 7 Matt Kvesic, 6 Sam Jones, 5 Charlie Matthews, 4 Joe Launchbury, 3 Henry Thomas, 2 Mikey Haywood, 1 Mako Vunipola.
Replacements: 16 Rob Buchanan, 17 Will Collier, 18 Sam Twomey, 19 Matt Everard, 20 Dan Robson, 21 Ryan Mills, 22 Marland Yarde.New Zealand: 15 Beauden Barrett, 14 Mitchell Scott, 13 Francis Saili, 12 Lima Sopoaga, 11 Charles Piutau, 10 Gareth Anscombe, 9 TJ Perenara, 8 Luke Whitelock (capt), 7 Sam Cane, 6 Brad Shields, 5 Brodie Rettalick, 4 Steven Luatua, 3 Ben Tameifuna, 2 Codie Taylor, 1 Solomona Sakalia.
Replacements: 16 Sefo Setefano, 17 Michael Kainga, 18 Dominic Bird, 19 Carl Axtens, 20 Brad Weber, 21 Rhys Llewellyn, 22 Waisake Naholo. -
