@Stargazer Ah, unfortunate.

I really hope Proctor gets into the RWC squad ahead of Ennor.

As an aside. Not sure if it's been said already, but Asafo's daughter was very sick. Hence he headed home.

Without being an arsehole, I am quite happy to hear that, and not as I feared maybe somthing he did wrong. Hope his little girl is ok!

Well unlikely, but by gee there's a lot to like about his play, really looks the part of a 13 doesn't he? I have to say I was impressed with Goodhue also, bigtime, even if he does reseble a draught horse when running!

I reckon Proctor is the most natural 13 we have. Best defensive centre as well.

Just watching the highlights. Odd Weber chose the dodgy kick for the sideline for halftime instead of the easy kick over the dead ball.

Absolutely no argument from me there mate!

Goodhue has been the stand-out midfielder for me. Not entirely convinced that he shouldn't be in the ABs ahead of ALB.

Agree JG's been top class. In reality would be instead of Havili.

I been super impressed with Goodhue too, even though he runs like a draught horse, he certainly been going well at 12.

Harmon certainly missed a chance to impress. I was expecting better from him. Ainsley could be the third THP for the World Cup if Newell is not fit. Ah Kuoi excellent, huge workrate. I rate him higher than Vai'i.

The heat made the game stop and start. Not much phase play for him to make an impact

Did they ever say what his injury was?
