@ploughboy if ALB had managed to string as many games together (more than a couple?) as RI has this year where he was one of only a handful to perform then that might be true...but i think RI has earnt a bit of forgiveness this season
Maybe so but that still doesn't make him a world-class centre.

@Bovidae Woodcock was 35 in 2015
And broke down in a pool game, missing all the playoff matches. Ironically, replaced by Moody.
Followed by Crockett going down and Manu coming in ... only uncapped RWC winner in history!

i think his performance this year make him one...at very least the best option we have at 13 currently
-
@Kiwiwomble hes the best option because everyone elsehas been injured
-
@ploughboy lots would disagree but even if we concede that point....so? thats still better than someone who last played a great game multiple years ago

@Chris dont be stupid....not when we're calling out for a 6

15 W JordanPretty solid. Makeup of the bench will be crucial, as we discovered last weekend

That last 10 minutes will benefit the ABs next year. What a shock.
The forwards were brilliant. -
The big work ons I reckon are:
- Richie M - Jordie applying pressure by kicking long at times
- Cut out the dinky high risk defensive chip kicks
- Backline defence.
- Giving Jordan game time at 15
- BB impact sub

Bolter for the squad as a 6 P. Ennis currently playing in the Reserve B team in the Thames Valley competition.
I'll tell you who else has the attributes they're apparently looking for and who might get a run at 6 now that Matera is gone - is Mitch Dunshea.

When we he get the chance with the Saders squad as it is?
Cullen Grace would have to be the man to get the opportunity, can play at 6/8 and can kind of cover lock in a super pinch (WC squad).
