RWC Week 4: All Blacks v Italy

[sparky]

@pakman Your team but Telea at 11 and Big Leicester on the bench.

[Old Samurai Jack]

We need a revolution. The same isn't going to work. Caleb is so off the pace it isn't funny. Cane and BB need to have gone 2 years ago.

@pakman How is Clarke deserving at all over Telea? He isn't even deserving over Leicester.

Leicester will be vulnerable against the Irish. Do or die for Clarke. If don't fire Telea in for Uruguay.

Third back reserve needs to cover 12 or 13, and preferably both.

And not Clarke ?

Maybe, but when 100% Clarke is excellent under the high ball. Also faster.

All Black Shannon Frizell raring to go after ‘boring’ sideline spell

Flanker Shannon Frizell is nearing a return to international rugby after remaining “patient” during a “boring” stint on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

looking forward to seeing this guy back in the number 6

If him and Ethan both start at the same time it won’t be fair on the other teams

[taniwharugby]

@canefan yep, sadly been many weeks out of the game, he is unlikely to be close to his early RC form, but I guess for this week it is more about getting him gametime, along with a number of players.

He's shown years minutes of great consistency at 6 on the international stage, I can't see where the worry is...

You fullas will go all quiet when Jordan -> 15, EB -> 7, ST -> 2 and Roigard starts.
Some coaches play the ultimate long game.

[BerniesCorner]

Biggest game in the last 4 years, genuinely nervous. Chris B has made me more so.

Telea can play 11 but was usually at 14 during SR
