Did Foster say Ennor was 13 or wing cover? If so Big Leicester is like for like but PUJ the more established (in terms of appearing for the ABs) and as Frank said above, can play 12? Not sure Ennor was considered at all as a 12?
Foster said like Rieko that Ennor is wing-13 cover.
Left-sided players was the term used so Fainga'anuku would probably be the replacement.
However...
As for Ennor being unavailable, McLeod said they’re not at looking adding someone to the squad for the Steinlager Series. “We’re not sure when ALB will be available, it depends on his progress. “But in terms of bringing someone in, it’s just within the squad at the moment. “There has been no indication of anyone coming in, so we’ll work within the team and see how we go.”

I don't believe they considered Ennor at 12 as when it came to 12 they specifically mentioned that's why they looked at Tupaea (they seem as a 12) and that Jordie can also cover 12.
Did they actually say that Jordie can cover 12?
@Rancid-Schnitzel comes in his pants about here if so.

The prospect alone will do the job.

So anyone heard anything about UK coverage yet?

So Keo in SA has written off the All Black forwards as "frail". Hate to say it but he does have a point (for once). Unless there are some serious improvements this year, this so-called frailty is going to be an obvious target for the opposition.

@old-samurai-jack which forwards? Surely not our loose forwards?

I am more worried about our backs.

he's comparing us to a golden era of AB tight play. Only rates savea, reckons Whitelock/Retallick are past it.
I think the only thing you can say is 'we'll see'. Not sure the Bokke are filling the world with fear right now - the lack of international level rugby will have an effect. Lions tour could be very interesting. Betfair has the lions slightly favourites to win the series, and I agree - and I think the forwards will be a big part of that.
We've seen the NH sides really lift after their 2015 embarassment. Good for them, now we have to do the same
