Egg chasers of the SMB



Great attacking forward display in the second, defence was poor though and rescued a few times by minor saffer errors being picked up on review. Many small errors to tidy up for next week.
 
It will be interesting to see how Roger Tuivasa Sheck goes in Union and if he can make the All Blacks team. Got a great step on him. Not sure where he’ll play, centre or full back

Tuivasa-Sheck shock: RTS ending Warriors career early

Inside centre would be the easiest position to learn. Full back you have to read the game and have positional sense covering a huge space on the field. Outside centre you're responsible for the whole defensive setting of the backline and not getting caught out in the outside channels. Depends how much he's played union before now.

Former NZ Union schools representative. All Blacks have always had good attacking full backs, I’d be tempted to play him there as he’ll get space to move. Scored some sensational tries in the NRL and his defence is excellent

Sounds like he'll do well - the big adjustment for him will be reading the game for when the opposition kicks. There isn't the same amount of kicking in League but in union the 15 (and the 8 to a lesser extent) need to be roughly in the right part of the pitch so they're under the ball when the opposition launches one.
