Moody, Taylor, Franks, Whitelock, Romano, S. Barrett, Blackadder….
We used to do better when I named my team
Keep going all the way to 11, I dare you!
What do you have against Reece?

Actually I thought you were going to name Leicester instead!
Speaking of which, if Robertson was AB Coach, (a whatif indeed) I wonder who he'd pick as midfield.. -

Worried about his game. France are good and their half back, Dupont, is fantastic.
Who is Tupou ?
-
@stargazer a new one, we have had musical chairs already, so was expecting a change, although was one that would feature ALB...
@cgrant my guess is he meant Tupaea
Gee, midfield is a worry though!
I think they need to go Tupaea/Ioane, but expect they'll go Havili/Ioane.

Partial dislocation.
Shoulder subluxation: Symptoms, treatment, exercises, and recovery
Shoulder subluxation happens when the ball of the upper arm bone comes partly out of its socket. This is usually the result of trauma or sports injuries, and it is also common after a stroke. Exercises can help, but a person may need surgery. Learn about the causes, symptoms, and treatment of...

Imagine the improvement Robertson would get out of George Bridge....

I think they need to go Tupaea/Ioane, but expect they'll go Havili/Ioane.Give Tupaea a start. Pretty much nothing left to lose at this stage at 12/13. Reiko hasn't developed much and Havili has gone backwards.

I'm not throwing Havili under the bus quite yet. He showed a lot early on, and looked the absolute goods. The problem is that when you wind up with a light 8/9/10/12 like Ardie, AS, RM, DH it can get exposed by more physical teams.
His form has really deteriorated though, which is a real pity. ALB is a monster loss for us, and we run the risk of going to RWC23 without a settled midfield. Again.

Is this when Jordie Barrett gets a go at 13? 🙈

Literally and figuratively

@nzzp I think it is more when they are being pressured and not going forward, then we struggle at present.
This is where we need a ball runner in the backs, right now, as you say, we are lightweight, aside from Rieko our entire backline is sub 100kg, and when we are struggling to break the gainline with guile, we dont even have power to break it anymore.
-
@taniwharugby if we don’t play in the forwards against the French well no for sure the Foster and Co have no idea. Any back playing on the platform we are offering won’t succeed. It will be interesting to see the response.

If we don't meet them up the guts we are going to lose

Jordie Barrett says hi.
