@bovidae nah it's Blackwell isn't it? Blackwell was in the 4 jersey against the Chiefs...

Nope. I watched the game today. Blackwell is on the TH side and Scrafton on the LH side.

It was prity obvious the difference once iwl came on though. Having a smaller backrow doesn't help either

Crucial

@mackerzzzz that front row has the potential to all be sent off.

Crucial

@mackerzzzz No love for Jacobson? Using only one 7 when we need to get some backup going there?

I would be looking at giving Boshier a run off the bench at some time and Sotutu needs to have some competition to see if that gets him out of his below 2020 performances.

You know there’s massive potential for a shit season when you have the name Blackadder in the six jersey.

I’m assuming he’s too slow for blindside, too small for lock and prone to shin splints.

@mn5 if you watched a game now an again, you'd realise that statement is so 90s.

Its 2021 that's 30 years ago... most/some of us were not even born then

taniwharugby

@mackerzzzz point is, thats when @MN5 stopped watching rugby, which was when Ethans dad played for the AB's.

The initial gag got some upvotes, they can’t all have been accidental.

@mackerzzzz I think on form David havili has to be in the squad and should probably play against Fiji

@crucial I think that comes very close, although I expect them to start S Barrett and name Vaa'i on the bench.

That 20 jersey is probably the hardest to pick. No. 8 is for lack of a better option.

Bovidae

@Crucial No Clarke due to sevens commitments in your team?

I think Reece should be involved in the sevens. He is made for that.

No Clarke because he is playing like a crippled donkey.
