@kirwan Hell know. He is not a winger. He needs some space and locked close to the touch line with no where to go he will have little impact.

He's a great finisher, and with his pace he'd be good on the wing. Especially as a Jane like second fullback, where he could join the line and pick his mismatches that he likes.

Watching the reviews of the game, where the gameplan of the Boks was to kick deep to us all the time, I think he would create more than Naholo (and catch more for that matter).

@antipodean I saw another best of team that had Sanchez at 10...

Think it was Karl T, Marx, Franks, Etzebeth, Mostert, du Toit, Pocock, Read, Faf, Sanchez, Crotty, Goodhue, Ioane, Dyanti, Le Roux

I can't complain about much in that team, other than Bono Cockwomble. WTF do people see in him?

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean yeah was my thoughts too...

[Machpants]

Turnovers are an easy thing to point at and see, thus he ranked high because he's good at them. Pretty average at everything else but that requires thought in depth

[antipodean]

I acknowledge he's awesome at that, but his defence is unbelievably passive for a guy with his build, possibly because he's looking to make turnovers. But you can get turnovers by driving forward in defence. And how often does he manage to make that turnover translate into a counter attacking opportunity? Hardly ever.

@kirwan while I appreciate his talent I don’t agree.

The thing for me that while his top end may not like Naholo, he gets to his top speed in the blink of an eye and I find with that and his elusiveness he can put others away with ease.

@rapido Maybe not a biggie but the springbok throw to prop at front of lineout - it still has to go in straight mate, assistant refs should look out for this

Sam Cane has had his operation. The All Blacks twitter feed is reporting it was successful and he should in time make a complete recovery.

Especially when Kolisi was all kinds of awesome in the games I watched.
