Has he wasted his potential? He was the new Dan Carter but now seems to have morphed into a fairly ordinary full back. Discuss

    I assume you’re from NZ. Only the All Blacks have the luxury of thinking that Beauden has wasted his potential.

    He’s a well rounded world class player to everyone else. So are both of his brothers. Truly a nation blessed for Rugby.

      I’m actually UK based. At fly half he was one of the best players in the world. I’ve just watched Aus v NZ and I’m sorry but at at full back he just looks ordinary.

      I do agree about Jordi and Scott though

        Last night he was a bit quieter, but through the RC he’s been very good at full back; and his ability to come into the line on attack and provide an additional kicking option has been a big part of the change to the ABs attack structure.
