Exactly!!! Leo said the same in his post match interview.wixfjord wrote: ↑November 30th, 2021, 9:02 amI think this is bang on from Felipe, a guy who would know better than anyone how to handle a maverick outhalf.According to Leinster backs coach Felipe Contepomi, it’s all part of the learning process for a player who finds himself at an important stage of his career as he looks to take the next step in his development. So far this season, the 22-year-old has played just 38 minutes for Leinster and 30 minutes for Ireland.
“Definitely the first thing is that it’s good to see him training and injury-free for at least a month or more than five weeks,” Contepomi said, referencing Byrne’s injury struggles over the past year.
So that’s the first positive thing to see, and then maybe in the games you could see he’s forcing (things)… he’s very talented but you need to fit that talent into teamwork and into a team-like flow, especially if you’re a 10. You need to make it flow rather than flow yourself.
“It’s something he’s learning and he will learn, but the talent is there and the potential is there, and it’s great to have him and hopefully he will have more minutes and keep developing.
“He’s young, and sometimes we expect (a lot), and sometimes it doesn’t work that easily for a young out-half. You need experiences. It’s not about age, but it’s about passing through similar situations over and over, and sometimes making errors and learning from them, that’s what gives you experience.
Clearly Harry is incredibly talented, but clearly he also needs to learn a bit of game management and not try to be constantly doing it all himself or going for the huge Hollywood plays.
I've no doubt that will come with game time.
It's a bit weird that some are choosing to see this as an 'attack' on Harry, it's an observation that is supported by his performances and more importantly by his coaches.
He is where he is age and experience wise and to get better his coaches have said he needs patience and experience. People taking these comments as personal attacks is indeed a bit odd. We all want our players to be the best they can be and to develop and be successful and you can't do that without constructive criticism. We're just blabbing on an internet forum but these are also the coachs' views.
