Well I agree that 2025 Super rugby form could definitely juggle a few spots for the Lions series although I think Schmidt has most of his squad locked in regardless. It would take some regular man of the match performances from someone to jump selected squad members imo. Looking at an injury...

Not sure Pasitoa will displace anyone? He needs a good injury free season playing some good rugby to even be noticed. Unlucky young lad but hoping he gets game time and plays well for the Force this year.

Possibly… I guess though that shirt shows what happens when you have a bloody flower as your emblem. A good outfit for Mardi Gras!!

Surely no self respecting rugby man is going to buy .. let alone wear that shirt…. comes with matching boardies… must have come from the same ‘Ideas’ section as the famous ‘Tahman’!! Attrocious.

True, although if others have strong seasons in Super rugby and he doesn’t? As I said, this position is not locked in imo.

Agree on flyhalf Phil. Donno got little minutes and will have to play well in Super rugby. I just don’t see why Noah is being persisted with. When we needed him to get the backline going at the back end he didn’t. As many have brought up, his touch finding is below par compared to Donno’s. Maybe...

He’s only there for his goal kicking.

So, Rugby rankings… Ireland 2 … Australia 8. .. According to that, we won’t win theoretically….I personally think we can definitely win this though. So for all those rankings Kings, if that does eventuate, what does that say about all those with their short and curlies caught up in a knot and us...

Exactly. Donno has had about 5 minutes in each of the last 3 games. As we both agree, Noah is hardly better. Pop gun kick, no pace, stands to pass often …. Oh yes… but he can kick goals. Joe seems set on him which I don’t understand though. So if Edmed gets 5 minutes what will that achieve? If...

So Why would Joe be reluctant to give Donno a start? He’s the best attacking 10 we have with a bigger boot. Has also played very few minutes on tour. I also think he has backed the wrong horse.

Never too late. Super rugby will still see the boys on trial and form taken into account I’m sure.

Well I hope Lolesio shoots the lights out against all his competitors in Super rugby because otherwise he won’t be lining up against the Lions.

Who in the backs played better?

A set back? He’s hardly outstandingly better than Donno imo.

I totally agree and understand that KOB. I guess Donno and Edmed just have to relish playing 80 minutes of Super rugby next year for their franchises each week and play well to change Joe’s thinking.

Tom Thumb. Noah has been backed to be our starting 10 for the majority of Tests this year. He has hardly shot the lights out, especially with the last Test. He fluffed the first kick off right from the get go, was poor in line kicking and didn’t look good defensively with a couple of missed...

Is Noah?

Mate… you're a dope. He was the best back we had! Great debut.

Pfitzy. Totally agree. At 19 nil up we did’t go for the jugular and we let them back in.. look sure we ran away on the scoreboard by the end but I think it was flattering to us. Scotland will be much tougher and won’t be easy at Murrayfield. I thought exactly the same re Donaldson, although I...

Well Joe is obviously set on him. With a big lead Donno comes onto the wing with 5 to go…? A 10 to the wing… not good for confidence… In Joe we trust ?
