I think thats a good point by JJquin. Sometimes coaches etc have to remember what got a player to where they are in the first place. Different sport I know, but cricket as an example. Player scoring shed loads of runs for his county batting at 3, picked for his national side and comes in at 6 as he is not ready for international bowling up the order, then dont pick him. Youve picked a player based on his performances for his club, why then try and change him. Dombrandt played a blinder against a top side friday night. Armand, Ewers and Kvesic is a top quality back row and (in my own view of course) would not look out of place at international level as a unit.
Dombrandt is getting this good press based on what he is now, why try and change that.
Because he could be even better?
I don’t think I’d equate playing players out of position with improving their strength and conditioning from an amateur to a professional level. It’s a slightly odd idea that, coming out of a few years at uni into 3 premiership games, he’ll already be at his phyiscal peak and the coaches shouldn’t try to improve him for fear of ruining him
