This is what Paul Ackford said after the South Africa game:
“Jamie Noon 4/10
Hardly saw him. For the millionth time, he is not an outside centre and he shouldn’t be there.”

In my opinion, people just keep on under-rating Jamie Noon; actually I think that he is “under-used”. I actually think he is a BETTER Mike Tindall. His tackle is just top-notch; and, what I like most about him, is that he is a garanty to reach the gain line, with good strenght and quite good speed and weight. If it´s needed he has the ability to connect with the wings, not great passing or great hands, but cand do the job; and, OK, I´ll face it, his kicking is, well, not good.
This and the experience are the positive qualitys that I think have keept him in the starting XV.
In my opinion Noon is a great player, and should be a first choice outside centre.
