Oh yeah sure. I didn't hear any other context to the comment. Any indication who it is?

Wonder if it's Hoskins Sotutu...pulled out of the AB XV tour. Most feel he is unlucky not to be in the ABs, also has eligibility for England and Fiji from next year. Always thought he would make a decent league player.

i think with Sotutu he wants to play like an NBA player & can go awol in the real physical stuff..just my take ..is one of the most skilled No 8's iv'e ever seen though

Ford needs some serious "run through gaps" training, maybe get him to sprint full tilt through a forest avoiding all the trees or something

Getting the obstruction errors out of his game alone will be an exponential benefit!

It's hard when all you can hear is "run it straight g!"
