He’s surprisingly big in person. Narrow shoulders and a big baby face makes him look small on tv
There is a question over his physicality though. He’ll have bursts of looking quality but he doesn’t win contact often enough across a game.
The biggest advantage he has over other options is his lineout work. Very good at stealing opposition ball.
@Duluth Yeah - I'd be surprised if that 108kg weight is up to date, becuse generally they try to make guys bigger and at Segner's height he should be able to carry more weight.
But, carrying more weight is likely to compromise speed and/or endurance - pushing him towards 6 or 8, rather than 7.
I'd like to see him do well, but - agree - he needs to lift his intensity. Not yet pushing into the AB frame, I think.

slight aside, but Jacobson was doing shuttles in front of us at the Eden Park Bledisloe and i couldn't believe how deep the fluffybunnies chest was. He's built like a fucking tank.

Dalton's stats seem big enough to me for an international 6. All academic now though.
He's getting there, but ideally I want more height.
My ideal is big Pieter-Steph at 2 metres. Of course, he's a freak - but, if you line him up'in a lineout vs the likes of Dalton - he's probably got a 3 inch advantage - which is pretty much a free throw.
I can see why our coaching team were keen on Vaa'i or Parker making a fist of 6.

Yeah I'm not sold on this blues strip.
It's rubbish
As is NZ backs propensity to chip kicks for zero fucking reason

If you are going to grubber you do it late at the line not early
NZ rugby is full of deadshits
Meredith looks a star
Looks like deadshits in Oz at least too. He looked at Clarke before passing it to him 
Now if only Jordan could learn to hit a player like that.

This could get very ugly for the Blues
Brumbies are in a different class
Blues can match them for power. Let’s see how it goes. Hope.
@Mattasaurus said in Brumbies v Blues:
really don't understand why you don't hold the ball and make another 30m rather than a speculative kick ( yes it came off this time)
NZ teams go to the box kick too often.
