Frogs still thinking small. Worried they can only beat us once, so keeping la poudre dry until the last minute

Annoyed that Delany has been out for a while, he was one of the form locks before he got injured aswell.

You would assume they are selecting 4 locks so Strange was always going to be a good chance as the fourth lock. Hopefully Lord is close to full fitness by July.
Hopefully he learns some of the laws of rugby in the interim. Olympic level stupid.

It would be a disaster if he appointed Scott Barrett as captain. Apart from the fact it would make Robertson look like he's unable to look outside his Crusader mates - its already bad enough with Richie and Sam. Scott would almost be the final straw for me.
Please pick Scooter. Please pick Scooter. Just please.
I'm a big Ardie fan, but his captaincy hasn't been great. I'd pick Scott, and I wouldn't care that he goes on a sabbatical next year. That's my prediction
Hope Robertson makes his choice on a long-term basis and not just on sabbaticals. Wonder if he'll pick a permanent VC as well.

Grace or Strange have many years ahead of them in black...

Like that great captain who really made an impression on the game, Luke Whitelock

@Daffy-Jaffy So that leaves them Wish version of Mounga or the limited directness of Farrell?
