      @@boom4301 .... you can like bowling ball all ya like,, but he's known as pinball for exactly the reason you discounted it.... go watch his highlights more closely pergaps?

      @@boom4301 that's my point, rewatch his clip, his doesn't always just go thru, quite often he bounces off thru or into other players, still demolishes them but pings around much more like pinball than smashing straight down the middle. Ive watched every game he has played in last 6/7 years and honestly never heard another person call him a bowling ball

      In 2017 he was the best flanker in the 6N in every game he played but one. He outplayed Tips, Warbs, POM et al but ….
      That one game? England gubbed Scotland. Gatland used it as an excuse not to take him. "Too small, not physical enough."
      Laughable when you consider Sam Kane played for the ABs. Instead? Gatland took James Haskell. I'm still bitter about that. I get Warbs, POM start but Watson off the bench? I guarantee he would have had far more impactful than Haskell.

    Unbelievable player. Hard as nails ( Most other players wouldn't get up straight away after being smashed by Kepu's shoulder), always has a decent number of tackles per game, beast at the breakdown and virtually unstoppable with the ball in hand. Heard him described as a human wrecking ball. And he is.

      I think Tipuric has got to start. I’d love to see a Tipuric and Watson flank partnership but I don’t think that’s the way they’ll go against the saffas, they’ll want more bulk. Watson would make a perfect impact sub though.

      @boom4301 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Osama Bin Wheelie i see where ur coming from but frankly i think its pretty crazy to be starting tipuric over watson, watson is better in every aspect of the game the only thing tipuric has got over watson is height but even then watson is much more powerful and is hundred times better at attacking than tipuric. But with gatland at coach its always gonna be tipuric starting cuz hes always biased towards wales and everyone knows that

    I will never forgive Gatland for taking the likes of James fucking Haskell over Hamish Watson on Lions tour in 2017. A disgrace.
    Watson has been quietly excellent for years. In Edinburgh's darkest days Watson was often a one man team. I get the nod to Curry, Underhill but Watson has been doing it for longer.
    He rarely if ever misses a tackle.
    Very good over the ball and slowing the ball at the breakdown.
    Arguably as good a ball carrier at 7 as any player at the position in test match rugby.
    Love to see Lions have him on bench to back up Curry. Come on in last 20 and cause havoc.
