It makes more sense to me to go Barrett-Barrett-Proctor.

Is De Groot injured?
Probably not fit as he usually isn't these days the slug. I'd take him over Tu'ungafasi if he was at proper pro rugby fitness and probably move Williams to the bench.
Has Tosi over taken Newell? Good if so. Newell's a better scrummager no doubt, but there's more upside to Tosi coming off the bench.
I'd also swap McKenzie and Barrett but other than that, I don't actually mind the side too much. Dare I say probably the best side they could have put out?
-
@African-Monkey I mean if you're going to go off on EdG being unfit, I would hope you prefer Tosi over Newell!

Newell is the ginger Nepo Laulala.
-
@African-Monkey he might be even less agile and makes Laulala look like ALB when it comes to ball handling.

We need a « you know » ometer for Robertsons press conferences.

Stoked there is no TJP.
Backline 10 12 13 still very uninspiring...solid D I guess.....but not known as creative on attack and 12 13 just don't put others in space nearly enough... And no one better currently which is even more of a concern.
This game could be a dour wet weather match with out the wet 🙄

Any Ferner representation at Allianz Stadium on Sat? I recently decided to go, to catch up with mates. I believe it’s sold out but managed to get tickets at face value on the members only RFU ticket resale site. Getting relatively expensive with basic Cat 4 el cheapo at 99 quid, increasing by 30 quid for each subsequent category.

@Daffy-Jaffy I’m disappointed that Surfboard Jesus doesn’t appear to be a man amongst men (or boys) when in front of the media. Always seems nervous. Was he the same at the Saders or do I remember differently? Bit of the old Ron Manager (IYKYK) about him.

He wasn't really under any pressure from the media at the Crusaders.

I just thought he came across as nervous and not very eloquent or on top of the detail.
Sammy Cane and Jordie Barrett did a better job.
-
@African-Monkey Those were all fairly predictable questions at the press conference that he should have been able to knock away to the boundary. Did he not practice with the media officer beforehand?
-
@Mattasaurus liked purely for the last line.
