Yeah, there was a comment re one of the Tahs (somewhere) saying that the best dietician in the world can't stop someone stopping at a KFC drive thru on the way home from training

Has he got over his back issues?

He is still 120kgs

Before you start wringing your hands, he was player of the match for saracens this week after losing a load more weight 2017 vs 2018

There have been two areas of dumb imports by aus super sides, imported 8's and 10's have just limited development

Hooper, Foley & Beale aren't going to be dropped (there are no options available that are actual upgrades) and I expect us to win our next two home games and lose our two away games
