Fair enough but hoops plays 80 most weeks, does he play as 6/8 off the bench or does DC roll with the idea of 2 pure 7's?

Good signing, will be interesting to see where he slots in. Played backrow before 7s, now more of a back.Confirmation of Dylan Pietsch

The backrow skillset transplanted into a winger is exactly what's needed with the Tahs IMO. Loads of turnover/penalty opportunities, dominant in contact, love the defensive side of the game.... We see it with a lot of NZ/PI wingers that are hard on the ball in the tackle area... The guys we currently have are fast and skilful, but actively avoid the collisions and have no interest in the tackle contest with so many missed opportunities.
Tahs backline may end up looking something like this.

I'd just prefer a high quality outside back rather than a hard-running winger who's not going to be fast or evasiveness enough to threaten - but appreciate the positive narrative of a backrow/ wing hybrid.

From what I'm reading he's being pitched as both hard running and very fast..... We'll find out soon enough through.

Tahs clearly on the hunt for another good back. Seems they missed on on the fiji 7s 'tank' who turned down Drua and Tahs went to Zebre instead.
Promising they are looking beyond Shute shield for someone who can make the team better sooner.

Dylan P is a mid 10’s 100m runner. I think that’s quick enough if he has the ball skills

As in 10.5….15secs over 100?

I’m pretty confident he does not run that time.

Read it somewhere. Can’t find it now. But articles are around crediting him with 10m/s. That’s about as fast as anyone.

When living in the UK I had a mate from one of the colonial African countries at about 30yo. He was running 10.36 and qualified for the Commonwealth games (100m sprint). OK 20 years ago but still, mid 10s is fast, and most guys doing it will have eyes on something other than rugby.
If real, wow.
