Cheers for the clarification re Barnes. I was about to get a little defensive as the name implied to me a refernce to what some people call 'pulling a heartlidge'

No worries, I think it's one of my funnier posts.

I see Kaplan has got the game.

Working from a low base, I see.

Ouch! I think I've had better reactions...

Thanks for making my morning coffee come out of my nose Swat! LMAO

Horwill & McCalman starting the only changes to the 15 from last week.

Lucas & A Fainga'a come onto the bench for Phipps & Dennis

I applaud Deans again for picking a front row firstly on scrummaging ability.

Eh?

Salesi has definitely been better in the scrum than Alexander. Taf (when healthy) is probably a shade better than Moore in that aspect.

 

[Swat]

Harsh on Phipps...

 

[Swat]

Looking at that team is it likely that Ant will substitute with Horne at 13?

Yep, although weight isn't everything, he's chosen the heaviest front row. I do rate the front row as the best scrummagers from the touring squad.

Anyone else think its strange to have two 12's on the bench in Tapaui and Fainga and No outside back cover?!

But I guess both starting centres are made of glass and one of them is almost certain to come off injured.

I thought that too until I realised there's no other winger in the squad, if AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) goes down Barnes/Lucas to 15. Turner/Ioane go down then AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to wing. Horne could also play on the wing.

Didn't our scrum get penalized more in the first half last week?

I like the versatility Lucas offers from the bench.

Makes it easier to carry Ant

Barnes is very susceptible to concussion due to his footballers migraine condition that he suffered from in this years s15. It caused him to have half the season off to recover and was probably the reason why we went through the McCabe experiment. Hence, sponge (soft) head. And he has a face that looks like someone just stole his favourite toy...

It's also a play on Spongebob Squarepants...

I never thought a joke could be funny if you had to explain it, but I actually more than once there. Have an "agree" as I can't give you +rep.

Sometimes my references are too obscure, although I thought Spongehead Sookface was pretty easy to work out. Now I just have to get Tahs fans on board with Predatorius

Is he one ugly motherf*****r?

 

[Swat]

He does come from somewhere I know nothing about, speaks funny, kills it in attack and rumour has it can go invisible in defense although I never saw it.
