Which players to be sent home after Munster

[chief]

Good call Robbie, take away a 2nd rower who has performed pretty well, and keep Chisolm who has been consistently poor.

Even better Robbie, take away Peter Hynes who impressed thoroughly in the S14 this year, but through injury has missed a lot of games, he still really hasn't had a chance due to Barnes having to play conservatively in the Mid Week games denying any of the Hynes which we saw in the S14.

What was a great idea in the first place was even taking Morahan to Europe, that was bizarre to say the least.

Please this forum may have seemed to 'forgot' the idiocy of this coach, but I certainly haven't. 1 game against the Kiwi's, means jack shit, we still lost the previous 10 remember. Heres to Link in 2012.

McCabe's now rated over Hynes. Que? :nta:

Last man (#13) standing

Even better Robbie, take away Peter Hynes who impressed me thoroughly in the S14 this year, but blew a monkey's dick in both tour games denying any of the Hynes which I saw in the S14.

Morahan shouldn't have come and now you've rectified that.

The forum may have noticed that no matter what the coaches do the players won't perform but I know better. I HATE YOU ROBBIE DEANS. 1 game against the Kiwi's, means we beat the best team in the world once, we still lost the previous 10 remember. Heres to Link in 2012.

just confirmed by the ARU - Rod Davies, Saia Fainga'a, Peter Hynes, Luke Morahan and Van Humphries

That's five who are the last two? I thought it was 7 to be cut?

 

[RugbyReg]

so did I but I guess they're keeping the rest there.

 

[fatprop]

So Humphries isn't getting time against Italy?

 

[MrMouse]

It would seem not. It would have been a nice idea, but you'd think Simmons is thus a chance.

Haven't seen too many up in arms about "The Chosen". Personally I find it difficult to argue with any of those too much, based on form.

 

[rugbypundit]

Davies, Daley, S Fainga'a, McCabe, McCutcheon and Morahan to fly home on Wednesday, JOC (James O'Connor) should stay home. Which leaves us with a touring 30 of:

Ben Alexander
Adam Ashley-Cooper
Berrick Barnes
Kurtley Beale
Richard Brown
Luke Burgess
Mark Chisholm
Quade Cooper
Huia Edmonds
Rocky Elsom*(c)
Anthony Fainga'a

Scott Higginbotham
Matt Hodgson
Peter Hynes
Van Humphries
Salesi Ma’afu
Ben McCalman

15. Beale

13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)
12. A Fainga'a
11. Mitchell
10. Barnes
9. Burgess
8. Hodgson

16. Moore
17. Ma'afu

Cooper dropped, does tackling practice all week. Backrow rotated, McCalman and Brown take a turn to watch from the stands. Robinson rested to do a shitload of aerobic work, Genia on the physio's bench. Best performers picked against France.

Excellent line-up Lindommer, only exception would be Dean Mumm who didnt impress in earlier matches. Humphries should definately start!!

 

[en_force_er]

I don't understand, have the blokes shipping off been confirmed?

 

[Richo]

Si. S. Finger, Van, Hynes, Morahan and Davies.

 

[qwerty51]

Good to see those nuffie Reds gone, filth

 

[Blue]

Finally Robbie sees the light with Finger.

 

[Lindommer]

Excellent line-up Lindommer, only exception would be Dean Mumm who didn't impress in earlier matches. Humphries should definitely start!

Thank you, rp. The selection of Mumm in the second row was to give him an opportunity to see if he's capable of starting a test match (I suspect he isn't but he should get a chance). My tactic woud've been to give Mumm and Van a half each.

Welcome, by the way.

Ma'afu and Phipps have been sent home now.

Bit of a fall from grace for Salesi.

 

[Crow]

I'm kind of surprised Ma'afu has gone.
He finally seemed to be getting somewhere. Mind you, Slipper's had a relatively good tour, so maybe it's not entirely unsurprising.

 

[vidiot]

Ma'afu and Phipps have been sent home now.

Bit of a fall from grace for Salesi.

Not much tour left. Neither was going to appear. Feeding Ma'afu would be pretty expensive.
