Strengths: Phillips is a big physical scrum-half and has a habit of making key breaks around the fringes, leaving defences trailing in his wake as he turns on his pace.
Weaknesses: He can lack vision at times and become too preoccupied with trying to take the ball on himself and can waste good attacking options in doing so.
Likely headline: Phillips tightens the screws in Canadian coffin
Did you know: Phillips started his career as a flanker but later moved to scrum-half where he has been compared to Welsh legend Terry Holmes. He is the tallest scrum-half in international rugby at present.
