Deans has told TPN to get to Europe as quickly as possible. Could suggest that Moore's injury is more serious than first indicated..

thank goodness

 

[Brumbies Guy]

thank goodness

Thank goodness for what? Moore being injured or TPN being rushed out of his recovery? Neither are good things

 

[barbarian]

I would want to make sure he is 150% fit before I throw him into a test, especially vs England. I care far more about his fitness for next season than winning/losing one game on the Spring Tour, even if it is against the poms. We are pretty desperate though if Moore's injury is bad.

 

[Groucho]

I hope this indicates he is recovered.

It must indicate he is recovered.

One hopes.

I thought Edmunds was superb during the time he was on.

 

[Sully]

I was surprised with Edmonds. Especially in the Scrum but that may have been Slipper as well.

panic stations.

probably Fainga'a and edmonds not being starters

I am not a fan of Fainga'a but having said that I'd prefer to keep TPN home if it meant that he was fully recovered.. year out from the Cup I'd prefer to see a full strength front row come next year then worrying about potential and existing injuries that could have been preventable.

wooo! cant wait to see my boy TPN in action again! last time I saw him was Parra V Uni! He is going to go all-out in his 1st game back, hopefully better for the scrum and PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD wear some sort of ankle protection!!!!!!

That was completely Slipper. Slipper has stabilised every scrum I've seen him join. Edmonds the reverse.

Should have bloody taken Charles in the first place. I'm not a fan of rushing TPN back... It's like deja vu all over again.

 

[Moses]

Perhaps TPN can save the day at prop again...

 

[DPK]

My source says that TPN's original injury (foot/ankle) is completely healed and the only issue is lack of game time and fitness.

Indeed. There was heated debate over it, but recall that discussion re the use (or misuse) of TPN in BaaBaas 2 in Gosford. He went back on again that match and his injury seemed to really worsen for the double use (Fp argued with me that this didn't matter, he was heading for a predicted ankle operation anyway, I begged to differ). Then we had both Hynes and Ioane admitting a few months ago that they both made serious misjudgements in coming back too soon from injury during 2010. So, the question must be asked: if TPN can go on to the UK on November 7, why could he not be picked 3-4 weeks ago?

 

[disco]

Yeah poor selection by Robbie he should have taken Charles, TPN is under done.

Not sure if it's Moore or the fact that Fainga'a is now injured also & we may be down to only one hooker come Twickers but why not bring in TPN & Charles?

 

[farva]

If TPN is fit get him over.

Edmonds shouldn't have gone in the first place, Charles or Fitzpatrick should have gone instead.

 

[Moses]

If TPN is fit he would have been the first picked. An injury to Moore doesn't suddenly make him any fitter.

Fitzpatrick > Charles, Fainga'a, Edmonds
