About as expected. No Roigard is a bummer.

I can't imagine that team puts a great deal of fear into the French.

Will be bloody impressive if ABs can snag the W.

Narawa ruled out of the RWC. Here's your chance Foster to undo your initial fuck up, pick Finau as a replacement.

[Tim]

@akan004 Long time to wait on it when he's been injured since the first test of the year! He's just a fucking wing FFS.

[akan004]

@Tim Makes the decision to select him when he was nursing a chronic back injury seem even more ridiculous now. Foster is just so unbelievably stupid.

Not that I don't believe you, but where did you get the info (Narawa's injury) from? AB team infos are difficult to get sometimes. Thanks

@akan004 I cannot come up with new ways of describing the incompetence. A player who was completely expendable for this campaign.

[DaGrubster]

@Tim

That seems very strange.

It’s not as if he is a world class player with 50 tests behind him and you know what you are getting.

Finau or Lord to be named replacement

[Tim]

@DaGrubster Yeah, a one test rookie. Never going to make a difference in this WC, especially with the other wings we have.

[Daffy Jaffy]

If they are bloody minded and go like for like maybe Stevenson, or maybe Blackadder leapfrogs Finau to reinforce the Loose forwards?

[Tim]

If they want an actual six it's Finau or Ioane. If they want a lock it's Lord or Tuipulotu.

Apart from Jordie injury ommission I got everything except had DMac instead of Leicester. Hard to argue that isn't strongest available starting XV.

[Tim]

@pakman Taukei'aho should've started every test this year. He was our best tight forward over the last two seasons.

[akan004]

@pakman That pack worries me. Not much go forward. Need forwards that make the gaineline consistently. Apart from Barrett and Ardie, I don't think the rest of the pack can do that.

[Billy Tell]

Lol if they choose a winger to replace narawa.

Shaun Stevenson?

His darts haven't been as consistent this year.
