The players mentioned in these two articles that I have stumbled upon could very well feature for the Spirit.

Liked the comment for the fact you posted the article, rather than the contents of aforementioned.

Hard to disagree with what you're saying Shelts. If Giteau defends at 10 (and To'omua at 12) off lineouts/scrums, I'd be content with that backline. McCalman (or Palu if Cheiks want to temporarily halt his extended rest) in for Higgers, who I presume will be relegated to the bench. I would...

3. Hooper 2. To'omua 1. Pocock

The calls for the 'harlem globetrotter' Cooper, and Giteau to be thrown on the scrap heap is definitely a kneejerk reaction when they were doing what they could with the ball they got in the first half notably. Based on my first viewing of that game - without looking at any stats to...

But...... but x factor ......... McCalman is a trundler and workhorse, and Higgers is a steed. Not a great game plenty of missed opportunities; breakdown work was sloppy/inefficient; defence in the wider channels was poor; was lateral too often in attack, and the Boks' kicking game and...

A lot of experience in that backline compared with that South African counterparts, as well as a settled 1-8. If the coaches have done their homework, I can see that midfield pairing of De Allende and Kriel being targeted and forced into making plenty of decisions in defence. I am worried...

Not considered due to form I would presume saulityvi. He will go head to head with Kriel in this match, though.

Huge blow for the Argies, but I'm sure that don't lack backup behind the likes of Ramiro Herrera.

World XV named for the match: 15 Delon Armitage, 14 Lachlan Turner, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Maxime Mermoz, 11 David Smith, 10 Mike Harris, 9 Luke Burgess, 8 Luke Whitelock, 7 Steffon Armitage, 6 Jordan Taufua, 5 Bakkies Botha, 4 Ali Williams, 3 Carl Hayman, 2 Craig Burden, 1 Gurthro Steenkamp...

Jesse Kriel at 13 - the fuck? He's only played 15 at Super Rugby level has he not? Don't understand why Meyer doesn't just stick with Serfontein the incumbent.

Saw that there was no thread - or hardly a mention of the match - so I figured I would start up a thread. World XV squad Backs Delon Armitage (Toulon, England) 26 caps Luke Burgess (Melbourne Rebels, Australia) 37 JJ Engelbrecht (Bulls, South Africa) 12 Mike Harris (Reds, Australia) 10 Andrew...

Deserved winners were the Highlanders, but for me, Dixon planted it on NMS's foot and lost control of the ball as it made contact with the ground.

Read, Kaino, Messam, Vito collectively is a menacing backrow 6/8 unit but what an embarrassment of riches in the Kiwi flanker depth. Amazing that guys like Luatua, Manu, Dixon, Shields, Taufua, Thomson are surplus to requirements.

I'm sure being preoccupied with the obligations that came with his Canes head coach appointment had a significant bearing on the Lions' fortunes in 2014, as the Canes' success in 2015 would validate.

I'll just leave this here......

Whut

On the upside......... Hooper, Phipps, Kepu, Folau et al. will finally get a rest.
