    @mikey07 lol where are you getting those stats from? Love is 90kg, 1.83cm and McClutchie is 1.74cm 85kg.

    1.83 and 1.78cm? Haha, classic mistake! That would make them smaller than 2cm! Replace the cm with m and you're correct, although those numbers from McClutchie are old, so he may be a bit heavier now.

    Even if correct, then he's only 2cm smaller and 2kg heavier than Mo'unga, who's an outstanding 10, so McClutchie is definitely not too small or fragile for Super Rugby as someone suggested earlier in the thread.

    Oh, and Simon Hickey is also 174cm, and 83kg.

    @Stargazer haha oops.

    I think Lincoln has the goods to be a Super level first five and I prefer him to someone like Orbyn.

    Hopefully he can find a little more consistency in his game during this year’s Mitre 10 Cup to force selection into one of the five NZ conferences.

    Just something I read the other day, Tommy Gentles - a Springbok halfback on their 1956 tour - was 1.6 metres and 61kgs!

    Played 2 of the tests against the ABs.

    Tiny even in those days.

    Its not only his physical qualities. He also seems a bit too nice. Maybe a bit soft on the emotional front. Fakatava is the other extreme. Maybe a bit too cocky. But too cocky can be calmed down a bit. Its a good quality although can lead to problems if its not handled right. Emotional soft is another issue

    So who will they bring in? I hope we don’t persist with Orbyn Leger. Lincoln McClutchie might finally get a gig but I doubt it.

    @mikey07 They have to talk up their own recruitment - they are hardly going to call him a dud.

    Should be the obvious choice surely.

    You clearly have only just learnt about Canes in the last few seconds.

    Why?

    Surely it will be him as he's been with the squad. And started against the Chiefs at 1st. And I would give game time to Love at 1st next WE to see how he goes. But it will likely be Leger and JGB not Love.
