@chris-b At least Mafileo can scrum.
Bower at tighthead? Moli back from injury?
Might be Mafileo.
George seemed to me to struggle a fair bit even as a loosehead.
I think Atu's supposed to be specializing as a loosehead these days - but, he hasn't even played has he (outside club play)?

See Foster has suggested Rioane and Ennor cover 11. For me it's Bridge or Jordan. Then Nareki or Lester.
As long as Roane is only on the wing if Ennor isn't in the team. Roane is better at centre than Ennor. And better at wing than Ennor.

He played his one and only game for the Chiefs against the Brumbies as the reserve TH.

Lomax shouldn't be in the team full stop.
Out of interest, who is the next tighthead prop off the rank?
With Tu'ungafasi injured, Alaalatoa ineligible and Tokolahi off overseas, it's someone flying very low under the radar when they're missing out to Ta'avao and Lomax.
It's presumably someone like Irish Ollie or Marcel Renata?!!!
Fletcher Newell if we can wait that long.
I'm prepared to bet your house on the fact that he'll be an AB.

He needs an NPC and hopefully he can come back strong as he could be a weapon off the bench. He's far better than Ta'avao (who I love but just isn't up to it).

Was originally TH, but project at LH. Not that we have weakness there!

Reckon Havili has the potential to bring the edge at 12. Busts tackles and hits hard in defense. He is pretty physical.

"There are some unlucky players who put their hand up and we hope continue to."
Um, if the selections are fair, wise and just, there should not be a stream of unlucky players... -

Last year we felt we weren't settled on our midfield. It was always an area we were looking closely at
Last year? More like the last 6

Look who shared this. I love him. Make him an AB next time Fozzie you dumbass.
That's awesome. Robinson must have asked the bar staff if he could look at the CCTV and then filmed it off his phone so he could post it. Lad!

Some unlucky front rowers around.
But a lucky one called Tyrell Lomax.
