Benetton bring Sharks back down to earth on SA soil

Also:

Absolutely agree that Willis should be included for the 6N, but let's see if he can replicate his Prem form for England first before we start tasking him with chewing gum at the same time.

What is very clear is Jordie Barrett and Rieko Ioane have poor chemistry and do not compliment each other's skill set. One or both needs to be dropped from the starting midfield permanently.

Jordie has demonstrated he has the skills to be a world class playmaking 12 but he will never be Ma'a Nonu or Tana Umaga or Nganai Laumape, who could break the line with power almost at will.

Therefore, a big power runner at 13 like Fainga'anuka to play with Barrett at 12 seems like a possible world class combo.

Results:

Marcus runs = 3, inc 1 clean break and 1 tackle break

Kicks long = 5

Kicks short = 3, inc one break assist to Lawrence and one try assist to Sleightholme

Passes outside = 17

Pass inside = 3

Passes to backs = 13

Passes to forwards = 7

So once again, there is no support for your claims. Theory that Marcus cannot pass to his outside = bunkum.
