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.

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.

@Duluth where do you get the stats? would love to see what Nareki did

Pretty sure they use opta which is reasonably reliable
The UI is clunky. Use the calendar to find older games
