That's a fair point. IMHO he really wasn't the best signing the RFU could've made because there isn't really a direct equivalent of his League position.Voltman said:
Change of subject, but what's the general opinion of Riki Flutey in NZ? Looking the business for Irish this year.

Flutey was known as "Flakey Flutey". Had matchwinning abilities, but really didn't have the brain for a top-level 10. A big left boot, but I didn't rate his organisational skills.
He also got into some trouble in Argentina on a Colts tour - luckily escaped an assault conviction.

Definitely didn't play for the ABs and I'm about 99 percent sure he didn't play for the As. The closest he would have got was Colts probably.
If he managed to make the England side and he ever faced an AB team, NZers would be laughing all the way to 50 points. He is NOT international-class - not even close. And 10 (assuming that's where he still plays) isn't really a position of weakness for you lot when Hodgson, Barkley and Jonny (if he's ever right again) are fit. And no, I didn't forget Goode - I just didn't include him.
