I'm not going to write him off just yet, not after being in a backline whose attacking guile amounted to "gie it tae Duhan".

Lot of positives Vellacott, Hoyland, Graham very good in the backs.
Kinghorn i thought did pretty well couple of wild moments but you need to make and learn from these in pre-season.
Harrison and muncaster both look really decent prospects.
Ritchie carrying on where he left off, would not suprise me if he could nail a drop goal, his all round game is superb breakdown, carrying, tackling and his distribution is top notch.
One concern was fringe defence benetton made easy yards on a few occasions.
Overall a very enjoyable match with a lot of encouraging signs.

Would agree with all of this, although I was left frustrated by Kinghorn. Only pre-season of course, but he threw a few terrible passes - one of which led directly to a Benetton try - and his kicking from both tee and hand was pretty poor.
He did however nail one lovely 50:22 kick. That new law is going to be interesting.

He's a centurion because when he was 18/19 he was 18 one of the best fullbacks and attacking players in the league. Maybe it is coaching but that is no longer even close to being true.
