    Who is this Romero chap whose name I've seen bandied about, man we got some depth at lock! 🙂

    You know Romero, the guy that was team mates with Ritchie....

    And Reid

    @pakman I thought Cully wasn't far away - I think DMac might make it at the expense of one of the loosies - probably Luatua injuries permitting.

    @Chris-B.

    I'm not sure that Barrett has done enough to keep out Pat T.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see one of Todd or Ardie to miss out and carry an extra 6/8.

    Yeah, three opensides seems excessive.

    Although Ardie and Cane have been used quite a lot in other back row positions recently, may be seen as providing the cover needed.

    @gt12 Nor me. I'm not sure Scott Barrett is quite tall enough to be an international lock.

    @ACT-Crusader Can't really disagree with any of that and I'd be surprised if that is off the mark.

    Is it weird that a little bit of me wants a bolter in there purely to mix it up a bit and maybe provide a bit of a surprise to the Lions? I'm thinking Laumape or maybe McKenzie. Its a shame Giraffe isn't quite there yet.

    What has Pat T done this season?? If he makes the squad it'll be on potential alone.
