Seems like it’s pretty good mail that he’s out
His captaincy and efforts have been great but forgetting winning record - if he’s 50/50 to be ready - it just isn’t worth the risk.
Let’s face it, wales and Fiji are going to be hard games and we’re going to need a very good pack to put Georgia to the sword as well. So basically bringing him over for Portugal if he’s have cooked.
It’s a tough call but an injured and out for form 7 - we do need to finish picking on the past.
I don’t get Donaldson. Guess he can cover more positions than foley and it doesn’t seem like Eddie is a JOC (James O'Connor) fan. I don’t know. Odd pick.
Gleeson love on this thread is crazy! Tho I agree he has the attributes we need at 6,7,8 - fast, good hands, hard hitting and footwork (harry wilson fans fuming).
I feel pretty good about our back row options and depth for the most part. Glad foketi might make it. If Len is healthy center depth picking up between fok, Samu, jordie and len.
Jell away and jordie fullback options.
Starting wings solid with jordie and kellaway good backups tho wouldn’t mind vuni suddenly seeing god and achieving his potential.
Locks pretty good too. Front row the biggest worry.
Hopefully schoupp and whoever else picked are in some kind of scrumming boot camp with os day randt, Sheridan and woodcock somehow someway.
would love the pants England in the quarters. I’d be worried about Argentine big time if I was them!
