Lasike is a legend. You can’t not love him. Reminds of Jordan Turner-Hall.

I think Semi is the right call with Lasike. For whatever reason, Gussy been reticent to play him at flanker. He’s such a great rugby player he needs to be in the team. His tackling and offloading game is excellent. Could be a fantastic combo.

I can imagine that would be a real headache for the opposition. Generally it seems that Lasike is taking two or more defenders to stop him, thus opening space. Semi is surprisingly quick for his size, and also seems difficult to stop; then he does those ridiculous offloads that you just don't expect. With good support, those two would be gaining so man yards, it's bound to draw in extra defenders, leaving space out wide.

I like Semi but I'm not sure I hold him in such high regard as some others on here. He's made a couple of decent breaks and scored a good try from a pick and go through the middle of the ruck, but otherwise I'm not sure I've seen him do anything particularly amazing. I accept that he's not been given that much of a chance, but based on what I've seen I'd have Evans, Lawday, Chisholm, Robshaw and Dombrandt in the team before him, and Clifford when fit too.

He clearly offers something completely different from all those guys - the Fijian 7s style of play, incredibly offloads, rangy running, attack from anywhere, possibility he'l make something happen from nothing. Unfortunately, in 15s, the backrow players have to do the basics first and foremost, with the flashy stuff as an added bonus. Maybe Gustard prefers the names mentioned above on that basis.

I am happy to see him on the teamsheet, but not necessarily unhappy when he misses out and while it would be great to keep him, I think it's one area where we would not miss him hugely

Apart from your health - it's a dangerous job being a Quins centre

Worked well for curry...

Semi strikes me as a player that you don't teach, he just plays that instinctive Fijian way.
