@mofitzy_ Yeah but Shannon Frizzell???
It's a massive shame Jacobson and Papali'i are injured but the next cab off the rank has to be Frizzell. I'm sure he'll run riot in the pool stages but I really hope he isn't needed in the pointy end.
I really hope he tears it up in pools and give selectors a problem with selection.

You hope to not need to depend on the last couple of guys in the squad
Given the evolution of the 23 man game and the importance of tactical substitutions, and the fact you only have a 31 man squad, every one will need to do a job. Once on the ground and practicing starts, it only takes one injury and you could be ‘the man’

Yeah have to agree - seems quite an odd attitude to me to hope that players aren't capable of doing a good job.

@shark said in Sonny Bill's RWC:
Hamish McKay has been on the wireless saying we should expect SBW to be invalided out of the RWC, with news to come today. I hope he's wrong!!!!
Anyone out at Auckland airport should be watching to see if Laumape is on the midnight flight to Tokyo

-
If that's the case, Crotty becomes even more important...
Guess we might see a bit more of ALB/Goodhue in pool play though.
-
@taniwharugby Laumape probably starting at 12 in pool games against minnows.
-
Hope this is true, Ngani deserved his seat on the plane in the first place IMO.
-
@Stargazer I reckon they try ALB/JG again, this strikes me as a better mid field than NL/ALB or NL/JG and given Crottys injury history it is a very real possibility we lose him too, so need to bed in another front line option.
-
@taniwharugby why not ALB/JG and then Laumape on the bench for impact.
-
@Canes4life you "hope" a member of the All Blacks is injured???
-
@Canes4life I was talking 12/13, not the bench.
-
@Siam of course I don’t wish injury upon anyone, but for Ngani’s sake I hope he gets the opportunity he deserves after playing the house down all year.

Foxy was right .
