What idiot thought putting Kirsty Stanway front and centre of so much of Sky Rugby coverage is a good idea?
Her voice makes me want to cut my ears off and her knowledge is awful.
Inclusivity pick.
At least 2% of the viewership are women. -
Havili shouldn't even be cover IMO. I don't mind the Bower cover choice but the Havili call shits me. Surely there is more reliable or fresh talent to build up. A J Lam for example.

Still scratching my head over Bell, Perofeta. Not convinced by Beaudy either. Have to feel for Ricci, and Love. Whilst stoked for Sititi, gutted for Hoskins. Lakai and Iose's day will come. Agree this may point to Jordan coming back in for TRC.

JK's Blackadder reference went straight over her head.

Holland on SENZ
Reading between the lines they don't rate Sotutu's defensive work as they keep saying both sides of the ball.
I did chuckle at Holland agreeing that set piece will be huge vs England (then why select Bell).
Ardie and Sititi both seen as 8s.

Out of interest, how many kegs is Tosi carrying these days?
He said himself about 140.

lol, Sotutu was part of a team that dominated up front and had the best defence. Are they really trying to say the rest of the back row was covering for him.
He was excellent in attack and defence for the Blues this year.

Pretty tough break for him. Razor has picked his team, he feels these guys will do the business, now they will have to because he's in the hot seat

Reckon that's 90% of the squad most predicted, a couple tough calls to go with a couple of lucky ones.

no specialist 15 really. 10/15s and a 12/15.
Eh? Beaudy has only started once at 1st 5 in the last 20 test matches, but 12 times at fullback.
For me he is a better fullback than 1st 5 these days.
Damned with faint praise

as ive said before....i will reserve final condemnation for after we actually see the team play...some weird and disappointing selections...but maybe he can get something out of these guys....there is no excuse now if someone like bell has a bad day throwing lineouts
-
i really would love to see a squad picked purely on form, no one there on potential or past glory's
