So, just why is De Goede so good? The simplest way to put it is that she feels like a rugby player from the future. She isn’t the biggest number 8, but she is one of the strongest. She can have unflashy games, then you’ll check the stats sheet and realise she was the top carrier. And above all, the typical skills of a number 8 aren’t even her biggest strengths; she is essentially a fly-half in an 8’s body.
