Yes but I'd like him involved in some capacity - his experience, and knowledge is 15 years at the top level, with exposure to both hemispheres.

6.Smith 7.Hooper 8.Palu ( without thinking which club they play for). Would also be a set that most nations would like to be able to choose.

Good write up there, he came back last time and surprised a lot of people with his form - who knows. I'd love to see him in the mix, I he said he wants to target the RWC? How do we get to see him play is good old Tim going to bring him back to the Marlins and let him get some game time out hear...

That is right, so the frustrations in debating this thread. George Smith was a rank ahead on all of the above when he was at his best. Plus also played 6 and 8

George Smith

True but Lilo 10 and Beale 12. I'm hoping for a fully fit Cooper To'omua Kuindrani Speight, Folau - so until fit no use in contributing

Here's one that may or may not have been mentioned - fresh start and face Peter Hewart is currently with Suntory.

Yep spot on, and I'm sticker with the incumbent rule - done nothing to be dropped.

You are correct.

Sure it was Hooper with his helmet will rewind later and double check.

Last play of the game, hooper was still at it over the ball and earned the penalty. He also had more runs and tackles I believe through my one eye. But both good, and incumbent keeps, and if poey was incumbent I'd say the same.

Hooooooper did more than Poey who was just over the ball. Incumbent keeps it, Poey didn't do enough to unseat him. Hooper more effective runs, plenty of good tackles.

Man of steel

No sweat - not me, have 15 front rowers on the field that is balanced as well.

Hmmm your 85 year old Grandpa would have also played rugby in this weather, some club rugby canned - what't it coming to. Racist - no not at all, and that is not me, not wanting to bring that into it. Is it racist to see that most successful swimmers are one colour, and most runners are another...

Yes and the coach of that team as well was rather successful.

Yes, comes with confidence, and combinations. I liked that the straight running, and 2 touches, created space on the outside.

Yes International Rugby has changed a lot - agree. I will firstly say some of my best mates are Islanders they are great people. BUT - I've had a number of Kiwis say there are 2 many islanders in that team, it is not balanced. Most recent reference was the Auckland Blue's this year. So yes...

I know, we also had a team good enough to win the world cup. The point I was referencing was playing with confidence, and this has to be built. Back then it was there, and there is some great footage of games back then if you go hunting, players running straight, always have support, and...

I'm hoping we are playing clinical rugby, and put on better than 70 - 0 against teams like Fiji. Whilst the game has changed a considerable amount if you look back the the "pre" WC games of 91 we put big scores on against the NH teams and that is because we built and were clinical. V England 40...
