It's things like that show why Freier was such a good signing. Even if he hasn't got onto the park just yet, his community work has been absolutely immense. I hope they keep him on in some sort of coaching capacity when he retires.

I never thought I'd see the day Sir Stirling was compared to Tom Carter :(

Huxley, Cipriani and Vuna lead the competition for missed tackles. Pathetic.

Not a whole lot of choice to be honest, we're very, very thin with inside backs. Besides, Huxley has missed the most tackles in the entire competition - I didn't fancy seeing Digby running at him and Cipriani all day long. Brings Taumoepeau in as well, makes it a much quicker backline.

Good to see Delve pulled through, also glad Rooney isn't in the XV. I quite like the look of that backline, actually some decent speed there - Gerrard is an absolutely massive loss though.

We're going to get rolled here.

Surely there was someone better than Huxley. There has to have been.

This! Was a completely ridiculous headline - especially when you think about Huxley's contribution.

Alright, I'll pay that, he looked a bit limited though? Does he actually have a step on him, or does he just like running straight into people? Think against the really top teams he'll get cut down fairly easy.

Ita Vaea and Colby Fainga'a are the only two who came out of that with any credibility at all.

Huxley :mad:

3. Saffy 2. Cipriani 1. Delve Yoda and Robinson just missing out.

If we do get struck down with injuries, could end up with some interesting selections. Think in the forwards, a second string pack could look something like 1. Alexander 2. Moore 3. Palmer 4. Douglas 5. Simmonds 6. McCalman 7. Hodgson 8. Vaea We're not without options...

The WC backline will be: 9. Genia 10. Cooper 12. Barnes 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 11. Mitchell 14. JOC (James O'Connor) 15. Beale If Ioane gets unbroken then I can see things starting to shuffle around. I also dig what Konze (I think) was saying earlier, about horses for courses. Obviously it's not always applicable, but if...

I reckon Mitch Inman would be more than useful at 12. Massive unit, don't think he's quite got the speed to play 13 at international level.

Cooper Vuna. Awesome call.

If he keeps playing like this, I wouldn't mind seeing Ita Vaea as a bolter.

Al Campbell has improved the lineout every time he's come on, probably been our best lock actually. Wish they'd give Luke Jones a shot off the bench though. Starting to get well excited for this now!
