I'm really undecided... Brilliant try to win the game seemed to paper over the cracks for me... Maybe I'm being over critical.. With ball in hand he has looked devoid if ideas for a scrum half... Great support player that will score alot of tries though... Hopefully the playmaker side of his game will develop.
Agreed, I expect a lot more from a 19-year-old scrum half than to score the match-winning and match-clinching tries in his second game in the team.
The beauty of our system is that we have two other top quality playmakers in the side, so Myler has plenty of time to settle into this squad and become its focal point over time. Tonight Briers was performing superbly well so Richie didn't have the pressure on his shoulders of trying to create everything. But as time progresses I expect him to develop that side of his game.
