Nah you always have a couple development players in the squad.

Didn't Vunivalu play club rugby and look fairly average recently?

Or a couple of Coopers Tests. I love the year he combined with To'omua at 12. I think it was his Dunedin Test when I thought something special was starting to build. JOC (James O'Connor)'s RWC was also superb. I think he was the winger of the comp that year.

Oh I missed that. I 100% agree. I actually feel a bit sad about 'what could have been'.

McReights breakdown work didn't exactly help in our losses against SA or Argentina. I think Rennie's view is that winning the breakdown starts at winning the initial contact. Which is where Samu is better. Not even David Pocock is going to help us if we are constantly losing the initial hit. I...

Well said Derpus, apart from the 'greatest ever' comment. They will go down as great players but far from the greatest ever category.

Surely Valetini is a option in the line-out by now. If not, why not? He is clearly a long-term option in the back-row and should be up-skilling in this area.

I agree to some extent. McReight seems to be the better player (and more potential) compared to Samu over more categories. I would say pilfers and work-rate being the primary ones. Although I disagree around getting past the gain line constantly. McReight is very good at running good lines on...

I love the Thursday games, I don't have wait till Saturday to watch.

I like the backrow, it seems larger and more impactful which should help at the breakdown. We lose McReight but if Samu has similar impact to his bench cameos and can up his work-rate a bit then he might actually be a better option. Likewise, I think Holloway at lock is better in the contact...

I disagree, I think there was only 1-2 bad throws, the rest seemed like some other issues going on.

I agree, I thought they paired together well last time round, I hope Foketi has a blinder and we can see some continuity in the centres with these two for the rest of the year.

I disagree. Just say it how it is. If you lack a skill and weren't selected you were dropped.

Samu to score a hat-trick and the iceman to slot the winning penalty after the whistle. You heard it here first.

I just hope Foley's kicking has improved in Japan.

Thoughts on Jed at 4?

Obviously 6 too many.

+1 Happy to see no Beale. I really like Kellaway at 15.

Samu over McReight is really the only one I question. Jed at lock is an interesting one, but I like it. The way he plays seems more suited to lock. Leota will add more impact around the park from 6. Gordon over White is deserved. Foley only option. Foketi next best 12. Kellaway i've always...

I don't think its that odd. I like it.
