It will be Whitelock. Who plays 7 will be more interesting - Savea or Papalii?

[sparky]

Arse. But he should firing on all cylinders by the EOYT, perhaps even some of the Rugby Championship.

Dalton Papali'i to Number 7. Sam Whitelock to Captain. Great chance for Dalton to show he's a top Test quality Openside.

[Nepia]

Bugger!

I wonder if they'll still consider Ardie an 8 with Cane gone?

Dalton Papali'i deserves a shot at 7 Akira wouldn't want to keep dropping off like last week he might not make the 23

[Stargazer]

@nepia The Canes should move Ardie to 7 asap!!

Flanders to no. 8!

So Sam Cane's injury is similar to George Bridge's. It took Bridge about 6 months to get back to the field.

If this was an April Fool's prank, it would be very inappropriate.

Huge opportunity to get Ardie in at seven (and blood Dalton) and have a big bruiser at 8 (Sotutu would be my choice)

It might be one of those injuries that force the coaches into a better selection balance.

@kirwan thats what i was thinking

[MN5]

Bugger. Trying to break the Chiefs bench press record ?

Not sure I would describe Sotutu as a "big bruiser".
Akira maybe.

Akira deserves a shot after his test form late last season

Yeah. Nothing against Sotutu, but big bruiser?

[Kirwan]

@crucial If you believe stats (add pinch of salt) he's 2cm taller than Akira (192) and 7kg less at 106kg. Not sure i can believe that weight.

Plays heavier than that to me. Certainly not a small player.
