Re: Re Glaring lack of pace
Brother TamI disagree. It takes some physicality to be an overlapping full back. I think being in a five would help his weakness in being turned fairly easily at times. He's a better attacking full back than defensive full back IMO.
An overlapping fullback bombs on every 10-15 minutes and takes a relative rest at fullback in between. A wing back never, ever stops. Colin doesn't have that in him.
And I agree he's better going forward than defending. He just lacks the body to let him do it all game.
