For both max and Ben to show anywhere near their full potential they need game time ,they aren’t machines that produce said performance straight out of the box.Both players need the experience of first team rugby to develop their games ,this can’t be done by reading a book, it has to be done on the park . I’m sure both players will know their strengths and weaknesses without been put under the spotlightand bagged continually for mistakes
I can’t fault anyone for giving their all in a game and coming second best, that’s how you learn and evolve as a player, and so what if either never pulls a GB shirt on ,as long as they give their all for Trinity they’ll do for me .
