short at 13 & th lock

wouldn't a load of the non playing test squad get game time in the Aus A's?

It is worth remembering Jones is creating a much more athletic mobile set of pigs than they used to be

I think Holloway is a bench flex option a best With Banks leaving and not really locking down the 15 spot, Petaia - he has looked his best in the Super Rugby @ 15 (and no worse than Banks)

Agreed, but that doesn't mean with a few key injuries he doesn't become the next best option

Apart from Koro, we don't have a load of big wingers who are a chance of smashing through

And they would grind him into dust as he scrums against massive beasts each week

I think the potential upside is that an "in form", "on point" Latu is the best 2 in the country The downside is just as obvious

Yep, worked in a semi-government thing for a while, truly horrible experience. A company budget for staffing isn't agreed across industry, it is the company's budget and if they find someone of great value - they find a way, it is only a budget I don't disagree with the premise of owners...

How is it a false equivalence? as an employer I think is a great idea But it is legal collusion, if we are happy with some professionals having their wages limited by agreement between the employers, why not other industries?

Yep, but an "in form" Latu is an upgrade

Yeah, all it says at the moment is that they are talking, I think the contract would need to be quite focused on off field expectations as much as on field

I still think we are low on dynamic ball running (line bending backrowers) to back up Valetini I think if Rahboni Warren-Vosayaco wasn't constantly wounded he has those characteristics and Rennie would be sniffing around

Pressure does that, they will be better for the experience

He is very effective from 15

Every 60m kick is lottery

If you want a unit who can cover 10 to 15 who can just slot in, Hodge is the best compromise JOC (James O'Connor) is the better 10/12 solution but for the rest of the backline - lots of shuffling
