Photos from training show Goodhue running with the team.
Amazing to think they will insert Goodhue after he's battled with glandular fever and had no playing time. That disease will knock you down big time. Did Roger Federer get it a while ago and came back quite fast? These pro athletes are supermen

@rotated yeah I skimmed over that this morning and didn't really see any "attack" on Shields, so I wasn't sure what Sumo was talking about. It seemed rather odd.
I took that as an aim at the Ferald for the headline inference and twist of quotes.

Yeah - it was a weird article - clickbait headline, with absolutely nothing in the article backing up the inference.
So... a clickbait article from start to finish - claiming things that the coaches have never said, but would make a "good story" if they did - ... and I assume/hope S"S"S was taking object to that. -
Joe Moody has been ruled out of the rest of the tour with an eye injury. This is a massive loss, Tim Perry is not an adequate replacement imo. Angus Ta'avao comes into the squad.

In other news, Joe Moody has changed his name by deed poll to Ryan Crotty.
TBH, you could argue Big Karl is the better choice at the moment.

Karl tends to miss a lot of tackles. Great scrummager but Moody is still the better all round prop. It's Perry that concerns me, hopefully they will opt for Ofa as the bench loosehead cover instead.
I thought TP was on way back to NZ?

You're right. My bad. He was part of the additional 19 that joined the squad in Japan.

Joe also has a habit of getting penalised at very inopportune moments. I don't think it will matter much.
