Ikitau position in Wallabies
I have been constant advocate for Iki at 13. I think he is at the moment the top 13 in the world. While good at 12, i havent liked the fact that he has been pushed to 12 for JAS when i also happen to think that JAS would be a better 12 than 13 anyway.
But, having said that, Iki is tearing it up in Europe at the moment in 12. But i think he is thriving off having 10's running it to the line and giving balls at the gain line. He is loving it and thriving in that.
Unfortunatley, none of our 10's do that. The most active 10 to take the line is Gordon but the reds arent hitting those holes at the gain line so its more Gordon running it becuase no better options. I think Gordon is probably our best 10 but i think that if we stick with Iki at 12 there will be a disconnect in the way they play together - which would mean putting Iki back to 13 would be best for the team.
I dont know, im just rambling. But it has been such a breath of fresh air watching Iki run in an attacking back line.
I think i was spoiled last year and i just want Internationals back
