On Green, he’s a work horse, brilliant in the set piece and hits rucks and pushes, which isn’t exciting and you won’t see him make a Nadolo break or a Reffel turnover, so he’s an easy target if things aren’t going well. I think he’s been consistently 7/10 or above this season and it’s noticeable when he’s not there, which is the key point. As an ex lock myself, I sadly follow these guys during play sometimes to see how they’re working !

I did the same with him,maybe that’s why he stood out more.

Why is he not starting Murimurivalu at 15?
Is it because of ? over Nadolo fitness?
If so why not back Potter or even Browning?

It’s not like Henry is a full back, he’s come at the start to be a 10 that can cover 15 I.e. bench cover so why is he starting at 15 over a international 15?
Sadly, when Henry starts at 15, we know the game plan is to kick the leather off the ball even more.
