Back to the main topic. The form centre this week was Curtis Rona, IMO. He has improved a lot and could keep Nankivell off the 13 jersey when the latter comes back from injury.
Really? I thought he had a mare this week. Made some awful decisions ball in hand and helped shut down a couple of very good opportunities for his own team.
It was disappointing after being so good in his last outing.

he can cover anywhere between 11-15 comfortably
He comfortably covers the midfield? First I've heard he even plays there

@kiwi_expat I see Foster also name-checked young Narawa in the recent article along with SS. Looks like it could be a good battle for WC spots in the backline. Versatility will be key and count for a lot.

Narawa has been used as the backup centre in the 23, and has played there. Not at 2nd 5 though.

he's played quite a bit of rugby for BOP in the midfield

Narawa has played 37 games for BOP. Of those 37, he started 26 on the wing, 6 at fullback, 1 at second 5/8 and 2 at centre. He came of the bench in two games. So only 3 starts in the midfield and possibly 2 from the bench. I wouldn't call that "quite a bit". I'd call that "only a few".

@Stargazer he's going so fast you could easily mistake 14 for 13
-
@kiwi_expat first play is a forward pass

@mariner4life thats exactly where i am...all fun chat aside...i just cant see fozzie trying anything new unless he's forced too through injury
I can't think of anything that would surprise me more than him going against a decade and a half of collective experience and insight that experience is what matters at the RWC, not form.

@Machpants said in Best players in SR this week:
I agree about Luke Jacobson, player of the round, even better than Talea imo
Considering his position and the opposition quality, he shone. Yes, his highlight run was a misread from the defence but his other work was awesome. Pity there is no decent stats site so we have to go from reported comments but I think he was around 20 tackles?
Telea also excellent but mainly through the skill of picking out when the Canes were set up like schoolboys. Canes really were a mess at times. Great to have that ability but may not get those chances often.
