The proof of the pudding is in the eating. RH cannot be praised too highly yet because he hasn't proved himself for long enough.
For exactly the same reason he cannot be knocked either, particularly for when he's been played at FB, which he clearly isn't.
I'm happy enough to give the lad a run at SH. I concur with everyone else that he looked good last night and who knows how much more to come - if he maintains his promise then get him on a long term contract.

Is he the 7 we need ?
Well, not yet.
He did pretty well last night but if that's his peak, I suppose it'll all still hang in the balance by season end.
I feel sure he can be much closer to what we need just by being the starting 7 for an extended period, it takes time to develop understanding, your job and what the team needs from you, there is no substitute for game time and training sessions with the relevant personnel.
He has boat loads of talent, applying it is the tricky part.
Barring injury and finance (hey, we all gotta put food on the table) I don't see why he wouldn't make the position his.

I was impressed with his defence in tonight’s game. I particularly remember a one on one he made near our line.

Yeah, Liam Farrell ran a good line and Hampshire got his body in the way to stop an otherwise certain try.
