Aye. I think Jordan Turner is an example of the kind of think Backrow Saint is talking about - he'll take the ball to a defender and hop, which makes it difficult for the defender to know which way he's going to take off when he lands. It's a useful way for a threequarter or a back rower to beat a man.

Give over. When has Jordan Turner ever beat a man with that ridiculous goose step? Truth is, it's not an attempt to beat the defender, it's because he doesn't want to run the ball in hard because he's a complete wuss.

Alright then, a different example: Josh Morris scored a cracking try against Newcastle the other day by doing this.

Ironically, he scored against us last season doing it.

I remember that game; a goose would have scored against us that day.
I have to agree with the sad one - it is ridiculous and (usually) ineffective.

He'd be my first choice winger for next year, great pace and took his tries well.

Needs to work on his bomb disposal but the kid is lightning.

He played well. The only low point for me was the try that Charnley scored (the one set up by Hampshire). There was a moment where he could have got him, but he hesitated and lost him. Great show overall, though; good finishing and effective kick returns. Can't really blame him for the try from the kick - it's tough to deal with those when you're standing still and the attacker is approaching at full pace.

It was a forward pass from Hampshire.

Fair play. He played well. My only concern with him is defensively.
