Lam starting to look every bit like a test 11
-
Julian with more turnovers than his brother.
Unkind bounce prevents Lam from getting another. I can't see how the selectors can leave him out against France.

Currently 2nd 5/8 & centre playing for the Blues. So that's him shot.

Currently playing for the Blues...
I don't think that rules him out from AB contention ... there has been a blanket ban, yet.

Genuine question. What are the actual scrum rules these days. I've buried my head trying to keep up as scrum refereeing annoyed me so much.
You get popped and are back-pedalling but stay square, and ball comes out through your no.8 channel. That's a penalty?

I edited my post. But there will be after they end the winning streak against Australian opposition.

Canes backs being totally let down by a forward pack unable to do their core roles. Prediction Knock on by lions, means they get a line out at 5m
Oh and a ref happy with lions being metres offside

RR isn't that good is he? No way he should be an AB.
I think Hansen will select Codie Taylor, Nathan Harris and Liam Coltman for the June series. I can't see RR making the squad as he is far from his 2017 form.
Andrew Makalio was impressive against the Rebels. He had been fantastic for Ta$man in the Mitre 10 Cup so it is no surprise for me. It's certainly too early for him but I can imagine him as a possible bolter for the EOYT. -
I'd hope Coles would be back for EOYT, so he'll be there, esp as we play some easier games. But man the Canes forwards need a long hard look at themselves about core work at the ruck an scrum, they were tripe. Even an average effort would have meant a Try Bonus and much bigger win.

What a shit last 20 mins.
Canes replacement front row sucked arse. Lam certainly can finish a chance. Unlucky not to get 4 after that kick ahead.
I think Jules must have been taking Lam's mojo pills for the last few weeks. He looked strong and busy and took a few good high balls. Great sign.Not sure Lam is making the ABs just yet. Ioane and Naholo are ahead of him for the left wing and i don't think he suits the type of player they want for the right.
He would be competing with Savea for the next power winger if they need to bring someone in though.BB kicks better in howling wind. Maybe they should install big fans at every ground in NZ and turn them on when he lines one up.
