Followed his instincts so it's an observation rather than a criticism. On the whole he's done extremely well.

Yes, I’m nit picking.

I was with his brother yesterday and we said the same, but he still managed a score in the next play after so not too bad
Personally I see his natural position in the second row, always have done since he was 6, he has an amazing offloading game and runs some great lines, understands how to read plays and covers well, wing is defo not his position but he’s doing well enough there to draw the plaudits, as long as he keeps getting game time he’ll not let you down

I don't think so. It's a valid comment and he'd probably agree.
I'd honestly have no issue with most opinions on this forum. Were mostly pretty experienced as far as our knowledge of the game is concerned. I actually think we generally know what we're talking about and trust each other. Even you Brian!

Good luck Ollie if selected .

Yes good luck indeed, big future for this lad.

I hope its not the last we have seen of him in a Dons shirt, big asset for us for the promotion push.

Please don't take this the wrong way, I really hope he smashes it on Friday and gets his name on the trinity team sheet more regularly, that said I've really enjoyed the games he's played at the dons, great to watch a different team, also to catch up with a few old friends who support your club. I watch loads of rugby and up to very recently I was the chairman of a community club but decided To step back to enable me to enjoy the game more as a spectator and a player (I play PDRL and involved with LDRL & wheelchair), if he comes back to you guys, I'll be along to support. Good luck Friday and for the rest of the season.

Thanks for all your insights - much appreciated. Good luck to Ollie. I hope he has great game at the weekend.
