Immensely strong in mauls and breakdowns. And consistently plays 80 minutes. With all that strapping.... Without "rotation" ........at international standard. .......... week in , week out. What is there not to like?
Is he able to change nationalities?
Would we rather lose him to internationals with the Saffers or with Ireland? Hmm, interesting question.

As a Saffa, we may lose him when they are playing internationals . . .
. . . but if he was Irish qualified, Ireland wouldn't select him cos he's Ulsterish, ergo he still gets to play during international breaks.
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

If he was Ulsterish then he would be broken the rest of the year and only available during the international windows

But apparently he will still consistently play 80 minutes week in, week out, throughout the season - even if broken, he's held together by all that strapping . . . apparently.
