Heathen,
For the I'm still undecided about Sops.
Last night the attack, regardless of fly half, show no synchronization at all. mainly because it were a random bunch of players who've never had a game together before, missing the main starters that hold the team together. Simultaneously perhaps different strategies were applied to fly halves yesterday. Sops appeared to be trying lots of different ideas, cross field kicking, taking penalties quickly and trying to run into space. Umaga seemed to come on and manage the game better, pin Worcester back. They were probably different strategies for different times of the game.
With all that said.... I don't see Sops as a fly half for us any more. Off the bench fullback, sure. But he's not exactly justified his wages for me yet. Where as I'd argue Shields and Fekitoa have. I know he's a fantastic player, just not right for us really.
