    Our lineout looks pretty vulnerable. A skinny rookie lock, no targets at 7 or 8, and an unproven six (is he any good as a target?).

    Sotutu should be starting at 8, and would give an option.

    Pretty sure I’ve seen Savea taking plenty of lineout ball?

    @Tim Savea was used in the lineout last week. IIRC the first throw was to him.

    Ive seen Michael Hooper win ball as well, doesn't mean he's an option except as the surprise. Generally doesn't work twice in a week.

    Still, if can win the ball at 2, Smith's pass makes it still good attacking ball.

    Is Sotutu a good lineout target?

    @mariner4life according to ESPN stats, George Bridge won a lineout...although I assume a quick throw counts for a lineout win

    @Derpus Yep. And decent at attacking the opposition throw too.

    @Derpus I'd say yes. SRA anyway - we shall see at test level. He's also dangerous off the back of the lineout as a runner and off loader. The problem with Ardie is he has to win it first - he can do the rest.

    @mariner4life Mmm...maybe was a bit harsh but along the lines of "you have to expect a contest", " you can't always get the results you want", " type lecture.

    doesn't matter, my opinion is set

    Never liked that jaffa, right back to when we used to rip the piss out of him for being a pussie on the field.

    One upside from the team announcement is now I know Ian Foster reads my posts closely .. and then does the exact opposite.
    Sounds like an ex-girlfriend.
    What a midfield: keep your friends close and your mullets closer. Good to know the Barretts can afford kickbacks, and Ardie must be a top 8 given his towering height.
    But Foster is slipping, playing a winger who is actually fast and in position is a surprise innovation.

    Can anybody water a Foster interview?
    I lasted about 30 seconds-would rather watch paint vomit.
    Must be a tactic to keep the charisma dry.
    Poor Sotutu.

    So that shows he was going to pick Bridge too, until he got injured.

    Not sure you can conclude that.

    I agree.

    I think there were a couple of scenarios, for example if B. Barrett didn’t come right then a Jordie/Clarke/Bridge back 3 probably would’ve started for test 2.

    All 3 played well/better when that change occurred for the last 19 minutes.
