Visinia doesn't know the rules, let it roll dead you Muppet

[Steven Harris]

@Machpants or even just touch it down for a goaline drop out

[Machpants]

Should be a yellow, Barrett got one lol

[gt12]

Now it is a game, I was thinking they should have taken the 3.

[Steven Harris]

Outstanding patience from HB lead 14-12..

[Machpants]

Pretty intense.

[KiwiMurph]

Excellent half to watch

Flanders workrate is out the gate.

@Steven-Harris One more good SR season and I expect him to be in the ABs mix.

@Stargazer I just wonder if he might be a little lightweight for test footy? Particularly as an 8?

[Magpie_in_aus]

Shit im nervous. That is all

Hopefully he can bulk up, a lot of abs have dinner that significantly in recent years

[Stargazer]

@frugby Do you think about 110 kg is light for an 8? I don't think he's that light.

I don't think the stats are important, it is about where that weight is. Watching him play, I just wonder if he could carry a little more bulk across the shoulders. More like 115kg if you want.

I think at test level he would probably be more of a 6 than an 8... which funnily enough is where the vacancy is, so if I'm him, I'm looking to play 6 for the Canes, but suspect he will play 8.
