Despite being low in errors and a hard worker in defense, Henry simply didn't have the attacking game to match it with an experienced (though error prone) attacking centre in Ropati.
In total our team only managed 6 offloads, 2 line breaks, 2 tries - making Ropati's statistical contribution valuable, regardless of the hate thrown his way.
