When he was at Cas he played second row , but Catalan used him as a prop. Personally I think during his time at Cas he looked at his best.
That might possibly be because he was over 5 years younger. Not wanting to start the debate again but he's developed his game now and is more effective at prop.
Thought he had another solid game today but....why was Newman playing, he was crap....shot out of the line twice in the first half and tackled no-one, then missed a one-on-one tackle just before half time which nearly led to a Samoa try
