    Ford / Eastmond / JJ together as a midfield was some of the best rugby I've ever watched, had the privilege of witnessing it live in 2015 at the Rec a couple of times.

    A centre with all the basic skills perfected esp defense but was absolutely rapid so got through half gaps like a winger. Mis used by bath for a few seasons now but incredible player.

    Quality player. Not the biggest bloke but great hole runner, lovely feet and turn of speed, and an excellent defender. Very handy ball skills and an eye for an intercept too.
    Somehow underrated despite all of that 🤔

      I don't know whether it was injuries, covid disruption or what but it seems strange he suddenly disappeared from the national team. He was a true international in a problem position for England. All the tools and ball in both hands playing destructive rugby. NZ and SA keep on their experienced world class players... not sure why England felt differently.

      @@thereader6667 Yeah, and Daly gets so much negative press because EJ played him at fullback instead of centre/wing. But when he's in the right position he's genuinely world class.

      ​@mrsusan5672 he couldn't defend so was a poor centre and couldn't catch a cold so was a poor wing. Lacked the main skills required for those roles. The bad press was/is deserved.

  • @fasteddie8980
    @fasteddie8980 Год назад

    JJ was discovered by England by accident, Lancaster having to pick him as his first choice was injured, which says a lot about the coach unfortunately. JJ should have been first pick for the Lions for his sheer pace, quickness of thought and clever play but Davies was picked by the Welsh coach which was always the 'Welsh' plan. JJ was an astonishingly good player of the finest quality for a number of years and the best in his position by far when at his peak.

      @dazeng4633 Год назад

      I loved JJ as well and thought he was equally as good if not better than Davies for a time. BUT Davies was utterly outstanding that tour and justified the coaches decision.
      Far more irritated how England treated him tbf.

    from watching him recently, I think the one area he lacks is the ability to play with the ball in hand and through the backdoor with the backs in a seamless way. could be wrong but that's what I've seen of him
