    My guess is that he will be starting on Sunday with Ardie rested entirely.

    I wonder if Retallick will be involved at all during the pool.

    Any mention of Cane in the announcment? Seems odd he doesn't have Savea's spot on the bench. Already short of a gallop this year coming back from injury, with his start cut short last week - would have though 20 minutes off the bench would have done him more good than Savea.

    there's only 4 days between Canada and Namibia - so I supsect all the available players will roll out next week. Cane, Retallick if fit, etc

    @mofitzy_ think they mentioned Retallick was targeting the Namibia game?

    Don't know if anyone saw (Or mentioned) a sound bite from.Hansen on Jordie.

    He said that with older siblings in the team he can sometimes try too hard at proving himself for bros and misses the odd step and sometimes needs to slow down a bit.

    That wasn't verbatim but thought it was an interesting point that I hadn't considered, when living in the shadows of your brothers, particularly Beauden who usually dominates headlines.

    Ingrained sibling rivalry or competition doesn't stop when you become an AB, especially as the youngest.

    @ACT-Crusader reckon Bender will get plenty of time once they've had BB stretch his legs a bit. Wondering how much mixing and matching we'll see at 12/13 with our starters + Crotty. This is the biggest midfield combo we've rolled out in ages, Canada must be mucho excited lol

    He'll need little windscreen wipers on them.

    I only remember Italian international Ian McKinley wearing goggles. Have there been more players playing test rugby with them?

    Ian McKinley: Italy's Irish Super Hero - italy

    Ian McKinley: Italy's Irish Super Hero - italy

    IN THE SPOTLIGHT: For some rugby players being partially blind would be enough to hang up your boots, however not for Italian international Ian McKinley.

    It may look unusual, but protecting your eyesight is more important than looking cool.

    If he was worried about looking cool the sideshow Bob haircut isn’t helping, actually the eyesight might explain the hairstyle choice.
