@canefan and not make unnecessary mistakes...
He did seem faster last year.I'm going to address the gazelle in the room-is BB playing well enough to be in the team?
Frizzo vs Akira. Seems to me Akira was up earlier and wrecking havoc in their line totally destablizing their attack but what do I know..

Defo playing well enough to be full-back. Can't complain about the results when he has.
-
Yes he has been overall good I think at 15 but he is hardly used for kicking, made mistakes and pushes JB to wing.
If we look at 10,14,15 is that the strongest in those positions or is 10-15 axis that important? -

Pick a Barrett for fullback (not Kane or Scott) the other one goes to the bench. Both of them cover more than one position from there.

Too simple eh?
That move would then give the starting backs and reserves more balance to cover the midfield and wing.

@Snowy although...SB is less likely to do something dodgy in a ruck if he plays at 15...and using Fozzie logic, he's tall so must be good under the highball

In a ruck, yes. Overall probably not.

Seems to enjoy the time and space at 15, looks stifled at 10 sometimes. To be fair his pack played shit last time out
-
@KiwiMurph at least one kick in Bled 2 28th minute and I think I recall out of position or weak tackling in another

And his halfback.

Given the above, I'll rephrase my question: what is missing from RM-BB (10:15) that requires JB at 14? To my eyes he is playing like a slow wing not a fb/wing, not fending correctly, not using his cannon that much and not having to take many high balls (which other wings are good at too). He really looks like he is taking the place of a winger and I have not seen what he brings to the table to offset that? Long-range penalties and conversions? I have not got the figures here but I suspect his kicking success has not been 80% perhaps not even over 70%.

Yeah have to agree. Rieko Ioane for JB gives us better finishing power.Then you only need JB or DMac on the bench not both.

With you on that. He seems to have a good eye for a gap / play what's in front of you type player.
Great boot, good pass. Not so much use on the wing. Reduced space (touchlines, rush defence) lack of flat out speed or a serious step.Strengths not being used for me.
Wing cover (if we have to) from the bench.
