Is Leicester Fainga'anuku just a flanker now?

He’s started 5 games in a row now at 7. This clearly isn’t some one game trial or injury cover, it’s real. What are the implications of this going forward for his career and I suppose the wider Rugby context?

There’s been a lot of hybrid roles emerging but more so from the bench, to see it working at a high level from the start is interesting.

Another interesting aspect, how does this impact Oli Mathis as a promising 7/14 hybrid? Could we see that the Crusaders are starting a hybrid 7 at all times between him and LF?

Who are/ were the best ‘second playmakers’ in rugby?

Second playmaker or second ballplayer is a term/ strategy we see thrown around quite a bit but who is the best in this role as someone who is primarily a non-halfback.

If you’re feel adventurous maybe name a 11-15 of secondary playmakers.
