@Duluth said in AB RWC Squad:
Surprised they went for LF over another loosie
Not sure why people were mentioning Clarke. He was clearly in their plans having played 13 of the last 14 Test matches
Also thought Narawa might have been the unlucky one given the niggly injury
I’m just surprised they took 5 wingers instead of an extra loosie or lock. Brodie’s injury must not have been as bad.
No surprises to those who missed the cut. Blackadder if fit would’ve been the extra loosie. Fozzie gave a hint with his comments on SS and Finau yesterday they’d missed out. Weber was always going to struggle not being in the squad.

@mariner4life said in AB RWC Squad:
they have gambled an awful lot on both Retallick being fit, AND Frizzell maintaining form.
Also a little concerned that Cane has had some fitness concerns

@ACT-Crusader TH Ta'avao?

@ACT-Crusader Mafileo will be back up tighthead.
-
Considering BB is likely to play more 15 than 10, and Dmac also likely to feature at the back at times, Plus Reiko could have covered wingers if required - I am baffled that you would temp fate with so few loosies and take a crook BBBR...

@ACT-Crusader Lock: Pat T

I still cant get my head around the wingers ,
especially if they start Telia at 11 ,
where do Leister and Clarke play ?
-
The other lock in that group would be Tuipulotu. Apparently Auckland was asked not to play Patrick, Ioane and Lam last weekend

yep, this was the only reason I thought LF and Caleb were fighting for one spot..

We seem to be a LF and a lock short, 6 props and 5 wingers is well - interesting. the balance of the squad seems a little off.
Feel sorry for Finau and Lord - both played their best with the chances they had but couldn't make their way in.
Happy Leister and Roigard made the cut, not overly amused that Laulala and Tamiti made it - still with 6 props they're the obvious 3 choice pairing so not that it's really going to hurt of front row combinations.
