Thought he was excellnt today, always a handfull and some useful offloads. He also made a valiant effort to chase Riley down for our last try.

Still got booed by some of the balloons around me.

I wouldn't take him getting booed to serious mate...

Why did they boo him?

His uncle was a knob, though.

He's ok as long as he doesn't have to play any more than 10 minutes at a time.

Considering the size of him, he's still pretty flimsy in defence.

I wasnt impressed by him at all apart from him chasing the injured Riley.

Presume he's booed becase he's got long hair, a strange name, his uncle was called Shirley, AND he's the opposition 'enforcer'

I don't rate him.

Wouldn't have him over Wood, Moz, Carvell, Cooper or Rauhihi.

If he had a bit more nastiness about him, he'd probably be England's first choice prop. He's probably too nice for his own good at times.

said that for ages, he needs a big furking nasty streak running up his arris, and he'd possibly be something like our equivalent of willie mason.

He'll be a great player, can't believe he dropped to the 49ers at 10.
