The debate rumbles on over Tait's best position - outside centre or full-back - but his display against Saracens on Sunday suggests it may well be the latter.

Playing in the 15 shirt for the Falcons, Tait looked a constant threat with the ball in hand and picked a superb line for the opening try.

Defensively, he may not be the hardest hitter but he is clever and the way he prevented Rodd Penney from getting the ball down for a Saracens try was impressive.

Our verdict: BOILING POINT
