    @pakman Hansen with a sacrifice bunt to the kneecap? 🙂

    With Richie and Beauden slated to play a lot of minutes across eight tests it will be pretty surprising if one of them doesn't pick up some sort of injury along the way.

    Maybe they will rotate them through the group matches after SA?

    @canefan I'd expect so - though probably both to start the final pool game vs Italy - which will likely be a dress rehearsal.

    I may have been told last November by someone who may be a world cup winning 10 and current selector that Bridge was almost certainly going to Japan and that it might be a season too far for a certain long serving prop. Allegedly...

    That conversation which I never did get around to writing up (too late now) suggests that the TWM actually have been working to a plan and may even know what they're doing; hard though it is to imagine that they could do a better job than the collective wisdom of The Fern.

    Sez you!

    Feckers have got a 50% winning record this year, which is marginally better than Ivan Vodanovich. 🙂

    Jordie brings back a few memories of Toeava, 🙂 maligned but the coaches seem to like him .

    His versatility could come in handy in a WC , I can remember toeava doing a similar thing in 11, think he played fb, wing and midfield in pool games, allowed us to rest players with niggles.

    @kiwiinmelb Jordie and Ice. Two players that looked/look best at 12 but hardly ever play/played there!

    I think Jordie will be on the bench for the big games.

    If it's tight and we need a 50 metre penalty goal he's the only one in the squad capable.

    They hardly ever play there but are best there?
    Somehow quite a few selectors must disagree

    If it's tight he's the guy most likely to make a game losing clanger from where I'm sitting.

    For some reason I see Sam Cane dropping a ball as we’re building towards a game saving/winning try in the dying minutes of a knock out game....

    Stuff article seems to suggest Todd and Fifita are last two loosies, assuming Squire hasn't rung.

    When does SouthernMan release the team?
