If you are a wing and you think all you have to do is stand out wide, then you are going to be that 11-year-old schoolkid catching a cold – like everyone was nine months ago. The game now has become about the speed of the ball, and how quickly you can get it away from the ruck. A wing should bring a mixture of both excitement and effectiveness, and there is no better exponent of that than Cheslin Kolbe, one of the world’s most exhilarating players. They virtually saw the ball only when chasing or receiving kicks, and scrums used to last so long that when the ball eventually came out to them, they were either so bored that they could not be bothered, or they would pull a hamstring because they had seized up during the vast periods of inactivity.
Probably never – and you will see this weekend, when Nowell’s Exeter and Kolbe’s Toulouse meet in the Champions Cup quarter-finals, how much a busy wing can offer a team. Tom Curry and Sam Underhill could be the opposite - they are as quick as Nowell and could play in a number of positions on the field. With how fast the game is becoming, wings should be asking themselves: “Can my nine get to every breakdown on their own?” I do not think they can.

These new interpretations, while also helping the jackler to spoil parties at the breakdown, have also brought that crazy winger back. "There are great opportunities in the game to change it and we are looking at those opportunities. Did Finn Russell play himself out of the Lions starting line-up? And if you are roaming and you can get yourself into position swiftly, then you could become that extra nine – or even an extra 10. If you are on the blindside wing, you should be allowed to do whatever you want – giving yourself freedom of movement will only ever affect the team in a positive manner.
