       Indeed, I was speaking hypothetically. I said at the time that I
       was surprised the club had offered a new contract.

       Well at least the physios and S&C staff will still have a job
       while Lewies is still about. He can’t be the cheapest player to
       keep fit.

       How would we know?  They don’t keep him fit.

       To defend Lewies, I think he's a massively underrated player, is
       great for us when fit, and I can totally see why the club likes
       him and wanted to keep him. However, I can also identify with
       the sentiment on here that he seems to be injured quite a lot. I
       would be interested if anyone has the stats for that,
       season-by-season since he joined, to see if they stack up with
       the perception. Even if they do, maybe the guy has just been
       unlucky. Maybe next season he will be fit throughout.

       Absolutely, he's a very good player. You don't get a Springbok
       cap by being average :)
       It's just a shame that we don't see nearly enough of him in the
       quarters.

       You can see these on all.rugby, but basically to compare him
       with Dombrandt, who has been with us for a season more, Lewies
       has played almost 50% fewer matches for us and more than 50%
       fewer minutes in total.

       The stat I would like to see about Lewies is this:
       What is the % of games that we win when he starts compared to
       the the number of games that we win when he doesn't.
       I get the feeling that our win stats go up when he starts. The
       lineout is better. The forwards around him seem to play better.
       And, he adds captaincy experience. (I think that we sometime
       lack a bit leadership on the pitch.)

       Lewies when fit and on a run of games is an asset, more line out
       options and a bit more of a cool head (and a better example to
       follow). He’s not an amazing captain in the category of Robshaw
       or Vos let’s say, more a Paul Volley. Dombrandt may yet grow
       into the role but he’s currently as effective as a captain as
       that stint DC had (possibly during the Kingston era but can’t
       remember).
