<p>Well, last year didn't really go all that well for him did it? He had a few issues to sort out. I think he'll make the squad this year. </p>

Yeah far more active getting into the attacking line and being a playmaker. He was combining well last week with CFS and Kerevi. <br><br>
He would be a good squad member given he's played 10,12,13,15 since making the switch. Plus Izzy might get a look in at centre if Kurindrani continues to stink the house out so they will need a fullback. -
<p>Be interesting to see how that backline goes without Nadolo - on paper it looks a bit thin, but seems to have been reasonably effective, so far.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm slightly apprehensive about this game - hopefully, more because it's a game we can't afford to drop, rather than for concerns about the starting XV being a bit under strength and coming off a bye.</p>

<p>Hope Richie has his kicking boots on!</p> -
<p>that second try was a beaut</p>
-
<p>glad I put Macilai into my FR team! </p>
-
<p>14-0 after 9 mins</p>
-
<p>jeez, that could have gone either way I reckon...</p>
-
<p>those long advantages suck....at least 7 or 8 phases, the only way they could get an 'advantage' is to score....daft.</p>
-
<p>saders could be on a warning shortly...</p>
-
<p>8 phases for advantage on that one.</p>
-
Poor decision by the Reds to kick for goal. You've got the Saders on a team warning, take the lineout and hold on to the ball until the ref finds another penalty. They're not going to win kicking 3s.<br><br>
And he misses. -
<p>wtf was that? dudee playing the ball on the ground!!</p>
