Lord is already in the AB squad. I doubt whoever gets the call-up will play against Italy. Cover and tackle bag holder.

Yup. Unless one of the top 3 get scratched midweek Darry's loss makes no difference

@canefan it’s more for the Italy game as I doubt Barrett or even Va’ai will be involved in that match.

Fair call. A shame for Darry more than anything. Judging from what Argentina did to them, Italy won't present much resistance. Lord will have a chance to push his claims

I’m sure there is a small boat you could jump in and you will be back in Blighty in a few hours

I'm quietly stoked by the wins over the last two weeks. England we were favourites, but damn we outperformed against Ireland.
We won't know for 6-9 months if that was a statement win or not. I hope it was, but that Irish side wasn't what they have put out previously. France will be another good barometer this weekend - if we win there I think we go to number 1 or very close to it ... which would be a very nice way to finish the year.

Regardless of people’s feelings on Fihaki the big story is Holland. Getting closer and closer to being an AB. There has got to be a Netflix drama in there somewhere.

Yeah I think if we are top 2 in the world when the general feeling is , we can get a lot better .
Things may not be too bad after all

I think Razor and co are incredibly lucky that Sititi has flourished given he was only selected due to injury, is a rookie, and playing out of position at test level. The initial squad selections still suck and we've eroded our depth by shafting players in career best form, which is something we cannot afford to do these days.

Fihaki was so underwhelming again against Georgia.
Worst outside back in the squad. Even Tupaea is better

Aside from winning, if you want to keep your street cred as coaches, don't hand out too many jobs for the boys

Ha ha.
Been looking at the odd Irish forum. They are mostly still in denial mode. I will be genuinely interested to see how they go against Argentina this Friday. One off ordinary performance vs they are on the way down.

In the Fern spirit of balance you really should also look at the even ones.

France will be tough, tougher than the Irish I suspect. Hope the ABs are up for it.
We are building each week. I expect significant improvement, win or lose

This for me. As long as we build on the Ireland game and don't regress to headless chicken stuff we saw against England, it'll be a really successful tour.
