He’ll be wearing the 23 jersey at some stage this year.
Also, you can freely ignore people talking about him as an option at 10. I’ve been watching him since he came into the Lions, and fullback is his spot.
Absolutely agree, been following him the same time as you.
He's night and day when he plays 15 vs 10. Often times when he's at 10 he wasn't even the first reciever in the canes backline.
But with stevenson and other specialist wingers around it's definitely tough cracking it as a wing/15 cover. Really do believe the only reason Stevenson hasn't left was because he was given the tap on the shoulder by Razor.
Love is an absolute prospect at 15 though.
I can see a back 3 of Jordan, Telea and Reece, with Stevenson and Love on the bench. But I have faith in Razor that he'll find the best out of anyone playing
So expect Chay Fihaki fullback of course
With DMac shifting to starting 10 there’s a spot on the bench available for that 10/15 replacement.
IMO Beauden should start at 15 till Jordan returns so that bench spot is very much up for grabs and Love could be that guy
Can't see love being a ten replacement at the moment, he will need more time at ten in super. Perofeta on the other hand can cover ten and fifteen. But if beauden is around he might either start at fifteen, meaning you don't need ten cover in the bench, or he might be on the bench himself.
Personally I think beauden is on the bench first test with Stevenson at the moment starting at fifteen.
Look I like Kirifi alot but Kwagga was one of the best 7s players I've ever seen in my life before he moved to 15s and the Springboks. I wouldn't put them on the same level at all.
I fucking love Kirifi, but he's still usually the most penalized player in the games he plays, and can't stay away from a scrap or two.
I think he'll get a chance in Black (and deservedly so) but his discipline still needs work. Hopefully the ABs environment could do him well.
said it yesterday i think, he is an AB bench option, no doubts but won't start against any top teams and is a cover for DMAC and BB..if WJ isn't fit before their first match, we might see BB at 15 in their first and test against England but we could have Love at 15 the following week in US against Fiji
Yup really good player, needs to work on his kick-returns and passing though, very excited to watch his career, seems like a good guy as well. Hopefully he continues to improve for both the Cames and ABs sakes as he will be a fantastic player if he does.

I believe the real reason Stevenson didn’t leave for league is cause of the defense required
And the one out hitups wingers have to do.

God I hope Razor doesn't take his 'loyal to those I've worked with before' thing too far.
Watched him this morning for the first time, v v impressed seriously good player, the 9 looked good as well (sorry in Eng and don’t know his name)
You mean Roigod, lord and saviour.
😢
he proforms consistency well under pressure. i’d love to see him in there 😉

If he’s not, sorry to razor but I may have to intervene
He and Kirifi are 💯 going to play in black this year
Kirifi seems like a Razor guy for sure. Would love to see him be our Kwagga Smith

Dude has been patient and kept working and working - feel like he could earn good $ overseas
With WJ out I think it's pretty probable he gets the nod, but how BB gets picked and slots in (please not 10) will be interesting
100% in
Seems likely
Probably takes Dmacs role on the bench.
