@Stargazer Thanks mate,

I never made it as was to heavy, my brother played in one year.

My son has made Ross Brown, Taranaki's equivalent and it's picked on School Zones, not Clubs. South, Central, West and North. The weight limit up to 3 years ago was 57.5kgs as that was required to go to Roller Mills. Now they no longer enter RM's as too expensive they pushed weight to 60kgs.

Can anyone give a little info on Ross Shield please.

Teams? From what I remember South CHB, West etc who else

Weight restrictions?

Age, Y7 & 8 and are Y6 players eligible?

Do they have a tournament team that goes to Roller Mills?

Cheers

I'm in, tipped on time. Chur

I'm in!

William Guthrie is one to watch, usually a midfielder.

By the way, does your squad only have 30 names? In which case, you might have lost already? Isn’t it 31?

In mine, probably Harris goes, plus add Laulala or even perhaps Lomax? Pat T might stay home (I’d probably pick him), and I’ll be surprised if either of Frizzel or Whitelock don’t go. Ioane will have been played into the ground by then. Frizzel plus Squire covers 6 & 8 pretty well - I’m not sure if the time is right for Paps yet either.

In the backs, HBs are the form guys, you need an extra 10, midfield depends on injury, and only 2 outsides are set.

Jodie may sneak in due to lack of competition but if Ioane got injured we’d be pretty small and not overly fast.

If I had to bet on a real bolter, I’m starting to like Ennor more and more, but I don’t think it’s his time yet and he won’t get a chance against the Argies as he’s a Crusader.

Still have to add 1 more.

@gt12 said in World Cup Squad Positions:

You could also consider leaving out a three quarter for another 1st five. On that one, they’ve been less clear.

Still think 3 1st fives is way to go, but can't work out who

1 too many in the midfield, need another prop

Yeah, altho I like that midfield group, would rather drop Bridge and bring in a Prop

Yes - but how are you going to use that fifth midfielder in a big game?

You've got two playing. And one on the bench. One sitting in the stands in case someone gets injured in warm-ups.

And the fastest one running down to the local fish and chip shop with Shag and Fozzie's halftime order.

I know, just posted what I had at this stage, needs a few tweeks. Liked that group, but most likely Laumape will get dropped

@Paj

Is this a bet thing? If so, you’ll have to make a decision, the AB selectors have made it clear they are only taking four midfielders and will need five props.

Yeah, 12 mates catching up for weekend have to bring squad & $20 entry closest to Hansens wins.

So far have this, still considering 3 x 1st Fives or add another Prop.

@ACT-Crusader I'm not a robot!

@sparky I picking they'll take 2 1st Fives and have TJ as back up.

Got a weekend coming up with a few mates and we have to bring our WC Squad predictions.

got a few ideas, but need a few thoughts on breakdown of squad in what think will be position wise?

3 hookers, two 1st fives etc?

Thoughts?

Just had a wager of a box of beers with Irish tractor driver who turned up to mow silage.

@booboo inspired by the Eng test thought I'd pop back in and see what the goss was on Law's call!

Thought BB kicking was off in first 10-20mins due to trying to push ball a little more than useual because of wet conditions. Glad Crotty coming on and possibly getting call to keep ball in hand.
If England secured more lineout ball it may have been a different result.

<p>In like Flynn, with Cane's Black again?</p>

Been telling that to the wife for years.
