Fair, totally agree those lads will need to step up into the Edinburgh squad. However with Miller being with 7s I wonder if he's seen as having a future at full 15 level.

Not sure what the problem is or what has changed?


Think this is perhaps where CDP is being missed he did a lot of ruck clearing. Mata on the other hand is often at the bottom of the ruck as he appears to make every second carry, I think it was 26 or something on Friday.


Mata made 28 carries, which is the most Opta have recorded in a Pro 14 match since 2010/11 :-o

wow!

28 carries for 59m gained, that is some shoulder-reddening hard yards.
The others need to step in and help him out in that department

edit, now that I've seen the numbers the others did a fair shift of carrying too
