Like most sweeping statements it contains the seeds of its own destruction.Your first instinct should never be to pass.
I'll stick with my approach thanks.

"never" is what you said - identifying a single occasion when passing will not always be the best option hardly meets the test of "never".Should the 10 whose team is on the goal line pass instead of kick?
Watch the best counter attacking teams when they receive the ball from a kick. Their 1st instinct is always to pass the ball to centre field to start their counter attacking options.Your first instinct should never be to pass.

And CFS missed the tests in his last year of school because of injury.The Roach/F-Sautia record may stand for a while.
I probably agree with you (and apologise a bit for my over-reaction) the itself is lacking in players that can run good lines and draw and pass.Sure have - did you not undertsand what I wrote? His first instinct is Not to pass.
People on here have agreed his passing sense is an issue - to greater or lesser degree. So I'm not alone.
If you think that trying to step your opposite (or 2 or 3 opposites), taking the resultant contact and then trying to pass is a viable way to play once you get out of schoolboys rugby union then I suspect you have been coaching the Wallaby backs - or watching too much loig.
He is quite successful at doing that.On Taane, IMO he is quite successful a taking on those 2 defenders and getting good ball to his outside winger. I have been seeing him do it for many years.
And it was last year that Taane thought he could do it against SJC and got drilled over the sideline, into his own bench by Declan O'Donahue, who was in the 2nd row! As he will find this year and the years to come that there is always someone out there that has your measure.I probably agree with you (and apologise a bit for my over-reaction) the itself is lacking in players that can run good lines and draw and pass.
Watching the Waratahs the other night at times it was embarrassing that they are getting paid.

Schoolboy Test "Cap" Watch
I think these are the returning veterans:
Matt SANDELL (St Josephs) 3 caps
Lolo FAKAOSILEA (St Patricks) 4 Caps
Andrew KELLAWAY (Scots) has ? Caps
Tepai MOEROA (New) has ? caps
Brad WILKIN (Iona) has ? caps
Harry JONES (Barker) has ? caps
There will be 4 "caps" up for grab on the NH tour, and 2 on the inbound tour in Sep/Oct.
The Roach/F-Sautia record may stand for a while.
Hutchison may give it a nudge if he can stay injury free over the next coupls of years.
