I saw lopeti timani play against Sydney uni a few weeks ago.......if he can convert the same intensity of play to super rugby level he is going to be a real weapon
A decent forwards coach should be able to correct his body height, timing and entry point into breakdowns. Admittedly, it is "only" Shute Shield, but I like seeing a player that can pick and drive and get good metres over the advantage line from a static start, which I've seen him do a bit. Would be even better off a short run, if he can get low.He is incredibly raw. Hopefully he is much improved in 2013 but he lacked a lot of technique in 2012.
Bodyheight was probably his biggest issue.
He has a big frame though and like his brother can make some massive tackles. Keen to see more of him for the Tahs in 2013.
I was watching Lopeti play on the ABC game last weekend, like everyone says, still raw, at least 12 months away from been genuinely considered for super rugby
huh he's much more developed than you give him credit for.. he will be a regular member of the 22 next year imo.
