I think tight head is the most unclear selection, i.e. does he stick with Zane or bring AAA back in. I suspect he'll go with the latter. And I suspect he'll rethink Toole, and my 11 & 23 could be the other way around. Thus: 1. Slipper 2. Pollard 3. Tupou 4. Frost 5. Hooper 6. Valetini 7...

I think that's pretty much it. Joe likes stability and going by his MO, JOC (James O'Connor) and Lynagh are the starting incumbents, and Edmed doesn't get dropped entirely having started last week. Donno has to be patient for his opportunity to return to the main squad. He's allowed for 2 players to...

Occam's Razzor re JOC (James O'Connor). I'd say likely he had to meet certain requirements with Leicester and he made bookings some time ago that fitted in with that, allowed him to relocate himself, Bridget and the dog, and was also in a non-playing window in the RC on the off chance that he got selected. He...

Gotta love Nisbet calling this one of tte greatest Springbok performances of all time. Nothing to with it being one of the All Blacks worst of course

There’s a whole lot to go on at the end of the year too, it’s not necessarily just going to be a tussle between us and Argentina.

Yeah that’s him. I assume the original got barred for trolling, I don’t think the reincarnation will last long either.

The forum match thread gets totally ruined by Marce telling us 50 times a game we don’t have a world class #10. I have officially discovered the ignore function.

How is that no advantage?

There's that, and it's also possible that the RA owned franchises wanted both Edmed and one of Creighton or Bowen in starting roles rather than all 3 of them vying for 2 spots in the one team.

I think that they have used rested as they are both expected to be fit for the Bledisloe and therefore don't require injury cover in the squad to get through the week.

After he's played for the Kangaroos juggernaut he could potentially go full SBW and give basketball a crack, or even try Formula One.

Donaldson isn't in the squad for these games but I guess he will be called in if Lynagh is ruled out. But....Joe's MO is that a player needs to get a full week of training in once rejoining the squad, so it will be JOC (James O'Connor) + Edmed

The other thing was we were playing the Lions at the time for no points and I said that if we just beat them once then that ranking advance would be justified. We did that and it has been since vindicated with the Ellis Park win.

no chance this season, if he gets ditched by the Titans then yes, surely next season.

I wasn't sure of where to put this, I did ask in another thread to no avail but is there a reason there were no 3-2-1 threads for the Lions series?
