Did Lloyd leave? I'd say in teh absence of a decent THP they will put Robertson at 3 with Lloyd at 1. Also Prior over Robertson. Centres are concerning, particularly 13.

Think it'll be Gilmore (Tahs -->Aus) Davis (Tahs Taylor (Aus -->Reds) I would like to see Fardy do Reds Academy and Aus u20 Defence.

Don't think so. Just 3 players. full stop.

Babies underneath would be Brown and Taukipulu? Though pretty sure they are all realllllly young!

So its still really Locks: Blyth, Smith ---- Blyth Utility: Jones, Vest, Faifua Backrow: Mcreight, Uru, Wilson --- Wright, Tauakipulu Not terribly inspsiring even if they get everyone re signed

Unless the full time squad has the 4 locks. Blyth, Smith, Vest, Faifua. Development as Wilson Blyth.

Barely 6 figures it says - so probs a smidge over 100k - plus match fees.

He is NOT on the same level as the almighty Digby - please.

Think its more liekly we just take a bigger squad - like..42. And throw in a few mid weeks - rather then a another whole squad plus support staff

Struggling with the relevance of your response. What does Beale (a fullback) talking about wanting to play the All Blacks have to do with Perese?

Yeh think he mentioned targeting Rugby Champs.

Next week after a bit more time in camp they'll probably bolster the forward reserves significantly with Tameifuna and Timani. Not to mention Augustine Pulu as a halfback.

May be an ongoing switch for Robertson to the THP then..

Yes I believe I saw that after this series he was potentially moving across for a push for the 7s World Cup in September. Same as Kerevi.

Big Saffas required, Kwagga is amazing but definitely not a 'big saffa'. Pretty sure he is raking the big bucks in Japan anyway and still moonlights in 7s. Matera off to chase the money also. He just wanted to win a title and he has done so!

Hopefully Jordan Taufua gets a run. Great backrow options but not really surprising they went with a traditional size 6. Wuold have been tempting to start Stowers also but hurting the lineout a bit.

I think a decent 13 is far more important. Mataele and Pulu are fine as starters, but there is ONLY 1 proper centre on the books and not a good one.

Talakai brought into Wallabies to replace HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes). HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) was announced in Australia A, not Wallabies - was this a 'shift up' because of Tupou? Slim pickings at THP for Australia A if they don't release Talakai back to play for them. Hopefully they do after this first game once Tupou is in the clear...

He's not a 12 though is he? Maybe push Hodge back to 12 and find a Fullback (if no Kerevi)...also slim pickings.

Just had them that way because Foketi has played more 13 then Hodge and Hodge has played test 12. Wasn't about 'developing'. Considering also the only other 'centre' in the squad is Stewart who is definitely not a 13.
