I would put my knowledge on scrums up against yours any day

Ref involvement in scrums is what has ruined them. Giving them more power would be asinine

The back to back World Champion Springboks name their team on Mondays

Wait, you're all mad at RA instead of the incompetent people at the Rebels that ran you into the ground with terrible financial decisions? Haha ok

Good on him. The failure of his last job and the speed of it does give cause to pause on whether or not he's a great coach though

"Of the 15 that started against Wales at the Olympique Lyonnais, only three remain with James Slipper, Rob Valetini and Andrew Kellaway expected to start."

Surprised to see Hodgman down the pecking order, was the form loosehead this year I thought, and not sure how much Slipper has left in the tank at this stage Gordon probably the best type of player to help Noah succeed. Have been a big critic of him but he played really well behind a bad Tahs...

Good on ya How bout them Rebels!

Give me Wright over all these names mentioned

We had to suffer through a whole 2022 season of Jed Holloway in the 6 jersey, so I'm fine with Liam Wright starting

Is he fully fit yet?

Yeah I think we seem to have an unhealthy infatuation with flashy players and an underappreciation of proper hardworking ones

Are we certain that Schmidt only views Wright as a 6? Might be looking for a bigger body at 7 with the style he likes to use

Is he? Nonggorr had a far better season

We could use a few more Sam Canes to be honest, and we don't have any world class 6s that he would be taking the place of with Valetini the only experienced 8 currently in the squad.

Only 2 of the 5 locks picked are capped

I never said he was giving away penalties, I said he was going backwards regularly, letting looseheads dictate the bind and getting right under his chest near on every time

No, your tight head is the key to keeping scrums on your feed stable

The only consistent thing about AAA this year was going backwards in the scrums

AAA has been dreadful come scrum time this season, and his impact around the park isn't what it has been in past years. Honestly, Nongorr had a better season
