      No resistance from Blackadder in defence for that first try.

        Looks like Taufa Funaki played the first half.

          @Tim Yeah, did not see Christie at all. Must have picked up a late niggle? Also the team list graphic was wrong re: Tupaea being Tighthead. He played loosehead. Your boy Cook seemed to go well. I observed from NPC that he has a big engine and looks to make impact when he is around the ball. Just has a bit to learn about running lines when playing 6. Very promising though.

              That's pretty rough when he made the two tackles prior to that.

              But yeah, fuck him.

                      And here I thought after last season, flankers thumping first fives is a bad thing, they're thugs and it's a sign of weakness everywhere else in their game.

                                    That’s a massive blow. All teams are definitely taking some hits before the season has even begun.

                                      @nzzp The immediate concern is that none of the full squad Locks played last week so may also be injured at present. I guess that means Tristyn Cook steps up to the main squad for Darry. At least it is a position that the depth proved more than capable last season. Both McWhanell and Beehre did well when called on then. Cam Christie and Cook are full of promise and will get chances now to show it. Young Jack Lee and Hallam- Eames are also there if needed. Suafoa can also be used at Lock but with only 6 loosies selected he will be needed there most games. We need PT to stay fit.

                                        Darry, big loss , but he didn't actually play all that many games in 2024, maybe 6 starts., plenty depth.

                                          sort of linked to george's post

                                          how many games of rugby did Darry play last year
                                          And when did he come back to training?
