Nothing against the kid and he could yet develop into a good centre, but he looked way out of his depth. Not big enough and probably not quick enough either. As SS said he cost us one try and very nearly another but just managed an ankle tap on Goulding who had left him for dead.
On both occasions Talanoa trusted Logan and stuck to his winger when he could have made the tackle himself. When centres defend like that all it does is cause indecision in the winger, who ends up jumping in when he doesn't need to because he doesn't trust his centre to make the tackle.
this is where yeaman is so useful to the team. his winger generally trusts him, and can stay out and concentrate on his opposite number. a lot of people have a go at yeaman but it seems that he is one of those players who you miss when not in the team - from a defensive point of view that is. he also brings one of the most important aspects - experience
