How many starts has he had at fullback?
Started 8 tests at fullback and 8 tests on the wing (7 on right and 1 on left).
Has played a bit of both off the bench.

People seem to forget sbw played two sessions in France before coming to NZ and the ABs. Even then he still couldn't de League his tackles, and had kick it dead and get a yellow brain farts for ABs. RTS had heft it too late to make the RWC squad imo, especially with covid disruptions
SBW was a back rower who moved to the midfield
RTS is a shit hot fullback who will play wing.
Give him time though, to give him the best chance. We've seen way too many shit hot League players who've turned out to be shit playing rugby at Test level.

@victor-meldrew Ouch!

@duluth thats good for Moody, it was a foot injury wasnt it he was out for, which would affect the stability on heavy lifts

Sevu avoids training...

He gets enough weight training lugging his head around all day to be fair.

Looks good form to me, Laulala looked to be struggling on the upper weight though.

I can not see due to NPC or AB form so far this season why Sotutu is coming into a selection debate.Way behind the 3 starters from the last test, as well as Jacobsen and Blackadder.
To be fair he’s had one opportunity this season, so it’s hardly worth giving up on him just yet given the opportunities that lay ahead.
I wouldn’t give up on him ,
He has just slid down the pecking order at the moment .Always a brilliant Dad joke back when Jeremy Thrush and Dominic Bird were in the team.
You mean the team coached by Shag.

I never understood that nickname. Is it cos he did lots of rooting ?
