Moefana holder on the wing, a choice made by Fabien Galthié in the name of cohesion, the policy of the fit man but also the desire to bring power to his three-quarter line to respond to the game very direct and very physical from his opponent. “There will be a dominance issue. And the ability to respond blow for blow to three-quarters which go very very fast and which are very efficient. In particular the two wingers who are currently walking on water.“
It also happened to Woki
Despite his limited international experience (21 years, 4 caps), Yoram Moefana has already been moved to the wing with UBB three times. He brings his density, his punch, his speed and his defensive quality. Conversely, he could lack benchmarks, or even be in difficulty on high balls. “I put a damper on the high foot gameexplains Imanol Harinordoquy on rugbyrama.fr, I think he will be targeted.”

Normal because it is not a real specialist of the position regrets on France Bleu Gironde another former international, the Bordelais Olivier Brouzet. “Yoram is a very good player, he certainly has the ability to play on the wing, but don’t we have professional wingers who cross the pitch every Sunday in our league? It is always this versatility that we create. It’s like Cameron Woki who is so useful in the third line. He’s one of the rare players who can play, insert himself in a three-quarter line a bit like Olivier Magne did in our time. While we also have very good second lines. I’m always quite surprised that we don’t go to specialists.“
Versatility, strength or weakness? The performance of young Yoram Moefana at Murrayfield therefore risks being scrutinized by observers and fueling a debate as old as rugby.
