Here is the apparent backline for this weekend barring any set backs that I’ve just been sent. I do have doubts because the decisions are a little odd but I can only take his word for it. Hasn’t led me astray so far so thought I’d share with the fern.
As I posted at weekend the 23 could be deduced from the NPC releases. Since then Perofeta succumbed to blackadders, so Jordan in.
ALB to start is the talking point.

DMac injured on Thursday. Plummer to start and have a blinder.

As DMac's biggest fan, I am sure you wouldn't want that to happen.

It's a 50:50 call.

Last few pages have left me thinking I’m the only somewhat unfit not ripped poster on the forum. Everyone else lifting weights…
One of the most anti ageing things you can do as a man , I’m in my 60s , probably been doing strength training now consistently for 30 years ,good to combine withcardio as well on alternate days , I get cardio from mountain biking

I do many, many low-weight curls - ~12oz.
Seems to get me plenty ripped, but still more-than-somewhat unfit. -

@canefan I live in Wimbledon, but that’s where I played when I was a junior. Ten grass courts in those days.

Two tries let in to being out of position/out-jumped from cross-kicks in a single game is a major issue.
It really doesn't matter how good the rest of your game is, if there is a massive weakness that others can exploit quite so dramatically then you aren't going to stay in black.
It's not like the alternatives are that much worse attacking either.

and Sevu Reece got run past in a simple 1 on 1.
It is a holistic assessment. I really rate Sevu, but he is on the small side for Test rugby. Want Caleb back there; his work in the air (particularly at kickoffs) is awesome

@Chester-Draws as i say, i get he has some real work on's and others are currently clearly playing better, just seems a little harsh to suggest "last chance"

Our winger are great at super rugby level but a bit limited at test level
I would prefer Clarke and Rieko. Speed and power. With Love at FB until Jordan is fully fit.
