Totally agree on that.
It would have been fascinating to see Havili coping with Connor Murray on a good day, like Bridge has to. That would have been worth finding out.
Don't mean that Havili gets marked down and written off, just that he had a tough day and lessons of linespeed and physicality meant that he had a rough lesson, but it's all good experience.

And we get accused of not knowing about thier rugby....
I barely remember how many teams there are but I know it ain't been 12 for a long time! Although tbf it is still the same 5 teams in nz that were there in the S12, so in a wzy there is some truth in the headline 😂

His name is Fekitoa not Vaquita FFS and why does it matter how many of his family are left in the world?

No. I was too busy looking up when the World Wrestling Federation changed their logo to a panda and why they are concerned about an endangered rugby player

No replacement will be named apparently, but if there were one
Zebo?
Earls?
May?
Brown?Earls was absolutely excellent for Ireland vs USA, the best I have ever seen him play in a green jersey.

Drag Donal Lenihan to give the old "1971 Canterbury" speech. Won't really work (not that it did the first time) but seems like a move Gats would make.

If you wanted a like for like replacement, how about Nick Abendanon?

Cover fullback from within the current squad and bring in Ford
While not a bad call that would be admitting the first selections were wrong. So, unlikely.

If you are doing French exiles, then David Strettle is fairly decent too.

Yeah, its not a prediction. Just what I think they should do
Ford at 10 and Farrell at 12. As you said it would be admitting the initial selection was wrong, it would be admitting the backs aren't converting enough opportunities and it would be copying Eddie Jones
Gatland would never do any of that.

Dell and Russell’s call-ups come after Wales’ Cory Hill, Kristian Dacey, Gareth Davies and Tomas Francis joined the squad on Saturday afternoon following their Test against Tonga in Auckland on Friday.
