How can people be serious on Higgers? He does NOTHING on defence. He had one tackle in 20 minutes against the Baabaas. But what about his attack I hear you say- Sean McMahon did more in 60 minutes than Higgers has in the last three games I have seen him play.
I know this might sound like I am a closet Rebels fan but McMahon or Luke Jones needs to start at 6 and the other one needs to be the bench backrower.
Hey dude, just so you know. You are completely wrong about Higgers. Like, completely wrong? I mean, nothing you have written above is correct. Did you watch the game?
I'm 15 minutes through the Barbarians game and have been player-camming him the whole time. And he has made 3 tackles, including 2 tackles in a row in the 8th minute. He has been EXTREMELY active around the park and is regularly one of the first persons set in the defensive line. He also knocked the ball down to prevent a 5 v 2 overlap from eventuating. 1 Minute later he sticks his head in a maul and holds the ball up over the line. That maul looked for certain to be a try.
Let me spell it out for you, because you obviously can't count past 1.
Higgers is our biggest, quickest and most athletic forward. Unfortunately, Rugby players are smart and try and avoid running directly into the biggest c**t on the field. Not surprising that he doesn't make as many tackles as the smallest men on the park regularly do (Hodgeson, Hooper).
So please. Stop bullshitting evidence to suit your agenda. You're just as bad as the bloke claiming White kicked it too much.
Higgers played well in his 20 minutes on the field. That is all.
