Given the timing they are obviously favouring the peasants of the west for this tour.

I'll rip the bandaid off. Tahs by 2

Gordon/Lolesio? And as long as he's fit Jorgo will be ahead of both Pietsch & Potter

Yep, draft will be back next year unless they improve it substantially

In fairness to the Shig, if Schmidt had decided to use last nights game as the sole criteria to pick his #15 then JAS would get the gig hands down. They will both be in the team though.

Recency is king.

Presumably didn't make the Australian one so this is plan B. At least he's actually eligible for Scotland by birth, not the most marginal defection I've ever seen.

It's probably a win in fact.

They have to own it. If the reds or Tahs get 50 put on them they are a disgrace to the country.

I didn't say he won't be in the 23 but there will be 10 players in the squad who aren't - what I was getting at is he should be one of the 3 #10s picked.

The Reds own real estate.

I'd have JOC (James O'Connor) in the squad even if not in the match day 23.

I don't think limiting it to three overseas picks is a given either. I'm actually happy for Taniela to go to France, maybe they can re World class him. You know the saying, the first name on the team sheet is the tight head prop, the second name is the reserve tight head prop. Pick him from...

They are probably punting the new 'not competing' rule sometimes depending on field position.

There's that too. He probably just thought he was ending the game.

A take from someone who knew the result and watched the game on delay - they were clearly very fatigued and I wonder if the Fijians watered the ground as per tradition to up the humidity. As Dan said any one of us would have done the same thing regardless of knowing the rules or not and I can't...

Don't need to, Eddie has shown us. I'm not suggesting it now BTW, although as old mate above points out our domestic landscape is unique, our super coaches have no direct coaching involvement for half the year. Perhaps they should be included in the national setup in some way, not necessarily...

It's actually what Eddie should have done instead of picking up discarded league coaches.

Most of it will be the incorporation of the three franchices. There could also be a a provision for the ongoing Rebels shitshow. We will see soon.
