And if Jack Goodhue ...

@No-Quarter M4L needs to look at the midfield selections vs England and Ireland (with Goodhue returning from injury) and steel himself for disappointment.

And to answer the original question - centre is one of the least concerning positions. Crotty and ALB have both both played there regularly for the ABs - ALB has significantly more starts at centre than at second five.
Either could play there with aplomb.
I'd be much more concerned about "If Ben Smith..." or "If Reiko Ioane...", let alone, "If Brodie Retallick...".

I love our "depth" threads, fans from other countries must think we are such pussies
oh no our 3rd choice 10 got injured, now what do we do?
If our starting centre goes down, which of the other 2 proven international centres that we have do we play there?
It's a massive issue we don't ahve anyone to play right wing who is in the conversation for the best in the world in his position
it really has been a blessed 15-odd years

@MN5 yeah you mighta missed what I was getting at (see thread about Lions naming a team, then changing it)..I've stated elsewhere, if fit, SBW is on the plane.
More than likely

Probably ALB for me , just looks more like what you want from your 13 than the rest with his line running and distribution
I like him there on attack, but he's too slow to turn on defence, his vision isn't good enough.
if memory serves me correctly , I remember him looking a bit ordinary in defense against the Lions , misreading the play ,
Was he playing 13 then ?
( I used to be good at remembering detail like that , too much rugby these days

Personally, with Crotty & SBW being so injury-prone, I'm more concerned about ALB (with his ability to play 12 & 13) being injured
-
@kiwiinmelb I'm gonna say....maybe.

)I know the error you're referring to - the break in the lead up to Murray's try where our midfield got sucked into a quite obvious, club-level, second-man play. It was an absolutely terrible read, which was then exacerbated by TLP's even worse effort of defending the back of the ruck, which Murray then waltzed through to score. I'll have to watch back, as I don't recall if ALB and / or Laumape was at fault.
EDIT: just checked the
and it's clear Laumape is at fault on that one.
