<p>Who plays fullback for the Tahs now that Folau is at centre?<br>
Or does he just play both positions?<br>
Dont recall a fullback taking any high balls, Folau always seems to be there though...<br><br>
Chiefs take the lead back</p>

<p>He seems to defend at fullback but attack at centre. That isn't that much different than what other fullbacks do, tbh.</p> -

<p>Most FBs join the line either side of the centre.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Plus he's that fucking good at the high ball, its the logical choice.</p> -

<p>Yeah, I was skeptical of it at first but I actually think it has been a genius move. When we put Ben Smith at centre it was shit because we lost his counter attacking and he didn't know how to defend properly.</p> -

<p>Centre would be fucking shit to defend at. Just imagine - you've got Folau on your inside shoulder to look after, and potentially three other targets. Fuck. That.</p> -

<p>I was saying, most fullbacks defend at fullback but when their team have the ball they enter the backline around the centre position. The 'tahs have just taken it a bit further by putting 13 on his back. I wasn't saying that most centres defend at fullback.</p> -
<p>Chiefs getting run off the park atm.</p>

Don't get upset, it wasn't a criticism :)<br><br>
Good to see a team getting into it
