Hope Hanson actually gets on the field this time. If not, he'd have to be in a pretty select group to sit on the bench for 2 full matches without making your debut.
Did you watch the last test?
A man can dream..............All depends how the new coach goes![]()
Deans never ceases to amaze.
- I find it hard to fathom that Cummins is now perferred to Shipperley. Shipperley has looked the goods during the RC. The highest praise anyone will ever give Cummins is that he's "solid" (IMO). That just ain't gonna cut it against the All Blacks. Shipperley's form for the Reds show him to be a class finisher and he was warming nicely to test rugby.
- You'd go for Mitchell ahead of both if he's in form but you cant just come back into world class form straight away. Seriously have we learnt nothing over the last 12 months.
- I think everyone agrees Palu is our first choice no.8 but again he has 0 game time under his belt and we expect him to go in and out-play Kieran Read. wtf. Why not choose Samo. I thought he's did a pretty decent job at the back of the scrum during the RC.
Hooker Saia Fainga'a has a broken bone in his hand and will be replaced by fellow Reds rake James Hanson, while scans will reveal if winger Dom Shipperley requires surgery for an ongoing wrist complaint.

We will probably lose, but stranger things have happened.
.
Not a fan of Mitchell on the bench. I mean at least go with a utility so there's no backline reshuffle.
If Mitchell had played more I would have had less concern
AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) will do the shuffling.
My concern is how healthy is he? How long has he been in intensive training?
If he has been hitting every milestone at training then OK. I have the same query with Palu
Maybe we should ask - who would you play in the centres if 2 backs go down? Higgers or Palu?
