AB RWC squad

@dogmeat said in RWC squad. Who's in, who's out?:
I may have been told last November by someone who may be a world cup winning 10 and current selector that Bridge was almost certainly going to Japan and that it might be a season too far for a certain long serving prop. Allegedly...
That conversation which I never did get around to writing up (too late now) suggests that the TWM actually have been working to a plan and may even know what they're doing; hard though it is to imagine that they could do a better job than the collective wisdom of The Fern.

Jordie brings back a few memories of Toeava,
maligned but the coaches seem to like him .His versatility could come in handy in a WC , I can remember toeava doing a similar thing in 11, think he played fb, wing and midfield in pool games, allowed us to rest players with niggles.

@kiwiinmelb Jordie and Ice. Two players that looked/look best at 12 but hardly ever play/played there!

They hardly ever play there but are best there?
Somehow quite a few selectors must disagree -

I think Jordie will be on the bench for the big games.
If it's tight and we need a 50 metre penalty goal he's the only one in the squad capable.
If it's tight he's the guy most likely to make a game losing clanger from where I'm sitting.

For some reason I see Sam Cane dropping a ball as we’re building towards a game saving/winning try in the dying minutes of a knock out game....

When does SouthernMan release the team?
It’s 8pm in Perth, I’ll give him 4 hours or else he’s banned.

@ACT-Crusader cos Matt Todd?
Nothing to do with Todd. I just get nervous when he’s passed the ball. In saying that I’ve had the same nervousness with McCaw circa 02-03, Nonu pre-08

Be careful, man!
My impression is TWM know where they're going on LH, and given the squad the implication is Moli in.
-
Does anyone else think LS should be told to go jump?
Not sure what it does for team moral if he picks up the phone and says « I might just play for the ABs after all » and bam straight into the RWC squad. Sends out a weird message to whichever loose forward misses out.

@ACT-Crusader well given your history, of you know, more Cantabs makes for a better AB team....was only tongue in cheek comment anyway
