I don't think he's great defensively, but I don't think it's a lack of willing more just not his bag. Stick Cameron up front and it'd be the same situation.
The only criticism I'd get behind is that I would also like to see him take on his full-back more when they're 1-on-1. But that's just because we've seen him terrorise full backs previously and we know he's capable.
I'd guess some fans have less patience because he's not a right-footed Jodi Jones but they're big shoes to fill and we know that there's no way he'd be here bar injuries.
And yes the fact he's also black would jar with some whether they'd admit it or not publicly. But I don't imagine the 78 year old blokes who are just permanently pissed off with him in the Pavis post on here.
