Damian DE ALLENDE

The big, powerful centre has already been ruled out of the first Test because of injury – something that is plaguing him more and more often these days. It’s a great pity because when he’s at his best, De Allende is a force to be reckoned with, a real powerhouse, with pace and some pretty good hands, too. But he’s yet to step up in Test match rugby and with some quality centres pushing hard he’ll hope to get a chance later in the series.
