I was actually baffled by Holloway's selection as well A reasonable Super Rugby standard short lock, but he ain't a test lock and he ain't a test back rower - so what does he add to a test side?

With Kerevi bolted on as the 12, what would be his roll in building a RWC squad? Pasami will be his back up, with the sheer desperation back up pick of Foteki (because he plays a more ball running style, not because I rate him) I like Stewart but I can't see him being selected, his core...

Horrible game, neither side had any composure or a plan, the Reds and Ponies are miles ahead

and they just change it once they work out the real team closer to game day

3,000 years ago the Tahs had Hahn as a sponsor, they set up plastic bottled beer kiosks all around the ground, 1 minute beer

First rule of Leichhardt (and pretty well every other ground), go to pub first, eat, fill up with booze as desired - ignore facilities at ground. They have always been shit and the idea of waiting 3 minutes during the game is too long

We survived with a load of third stringers by the 2nd half and we weren't that good in the first half. We just took our kicks (unlike other games in the wet ffs) We didn't look like building any pressure as the phases built, we were just one phase closer to a turnover. We have no plan...

and Roberts has done bugger all on the field I am still surprised the Nawaqanitawase gets another shot, in the highlights from the "A" game Wilson & Dowling looked really good

I would have thought Nawaqanitawase & Newsome would shuffle about in the back 3 first with Harrison being pushed up if there is a 10/12 issue before Perese is moved

Quite shit working conditions as well Very long periods of isolation in their "bubble" would have made the whole thing quite tough

he quit

They already run "A" sides and have a train ons

I still think a NRC based around two sides being provided by each Super Rugby side is the most logical approach Direct pathways, larger fringe squads, assistant coaches get to coach - they could even both play double headers each week when they aren't playing eachother

It does suggest the spreading the wealth to all clubs maybe counter productive

And until we do, send them to the NPC, anywhere they can get quality rugby and a game each weekend I agree re the lack of units turning out for the SS, if the aren't in the match "25", with no "a" game, get them 80 minutes in SS

true, but playing rugby does these Super Rugby units don't need to be in full time training until November, doing extras sure, but they need more rugby

Only above Samu, well behind Wilson

He has had all the talent but lacked game time Harris is a unit who has the potential to do good things, but he needs to stay on the field and turn up when it gets hard This is still trials IMHO before the hard games start against the Kiwis
