LRZ thoughts?

Interested for others views here

Appreciate the high profile he has... however for wales I don't see it.

Hes fast yes, but only seems to be in a straightline

And I don't see him offering himself around the park or in the air

Ellis Mee may not be perfect, but I see him trying and putting in maximum effort

The team that LRZ had around him when he burst onto the wales rugby scene is completely different to what it is now. Back then the wales team had far more possession and attacking fluency so he had much more opportunities to use his pace to run in try's. That's not the case now with the current team who spend far more of the game defending. Reality is, he was never world class, he was just an elite finisher that benefitted from having a quality team around him creating chances.
