But, in saying that, I think his best trait is the ability to run onto the ball at the right angles to break the advantage line (Horan-esque) - something he can't really do as well when playing at scrumhalf or five eight. Nevertheless, I'd like to see him spend a bit of time at 10 and 12 this year, and I have a feeling Mitch will want him to fit the mould of someone who can cover a NZ-like first and second five. His kicking at 10 will be invaluable, and who knows Chis, your mate Henjak might step up if he is passing to his buddy. It'll be good for the Force, and good for the Wallabies.
