After each Wallabies G&GR is going to take an up-close look at the performance of one player. Last week it was Ben Alexander, this week it is current podcast star James Horwill.
I thought Kev had an absolute cracker on Saturday He was one of the few forwards who really made headway in tight. I gave him a rating of 8 and Scott Allen named him ‘Man of the Stats‘. However, a few people on the forum didn’t see it that way, so I decided to put the spotlight on him to review his contribution in detail.
According to the stats Horwill had:
- 16 carries with 2 offloads — by far the most of any forward
- 10 tackles made, but 4 misses
- 24 breakdown involvements
- 2 pilfers
- 1 lineout steal.
But stats can tell only part of the story. Have a look at this video and see what you think.
