An interesting snippet from that piece:
"He’s a real utility player," said Young. "Everyone knows he’s a quality 10, a quality 12 and a quality 15 so he’s very valuable to the squad. He plays two or three positions at high quality.
How many times have you see him at 15 for Wasps? I don't recall that he has. Why would Dai say that? I wonder ... let's see:
Tough, fearless tackler.
Excellent kicker of the ball.
Rarely loses the ball in the tackle.
Excellent positional sense.
Great passer, even over long distances.
Lethal in attack whether given space or not.
Speaking as someone who progressed from 7, to 12 to 15 as my game and fitness improved (a long time ago), it does make me wonder. Is Jimmy WLR's replacement? Fekitoa then slots in at 12 (with MLB as his #2).
As a defender, I would not want to face an attack where Jimmy could suddenly slot in anywhere along that line. He has what so many do not have that play at full back; fantastic spatial awareness when running with ball in hand and offloading skills.
