    He had a torrid time on Friday against Norris during the scrum but the Force have liked what they've seen so far from Josh Smith. Might be more difficult to tempt him back across the Ta$man in a few years, if the Force show this kind of faith early on.

    Let's hope they can actually develop him, though. The Aussies don't have a great track record for developing props in recent years, at least not when it comes to the set-piece.

      I wonder if Smith is lost to NPC as well. He has yet to establish himself but was in the HB squad.

                @booboo Bruce Robertson's grandson. He made the Counties Academy a couple of years back but can't remember if he ever made it into their NPC squad.

                          Good luck to him. Didn't really get a chance to show if he do a job for the ABs, go for the money

                            I’ve always rated Stevenson and would have had in my AB side but as soon as the ABs brushed him off, this was inevitable. Good luck to him, the sort of talent we shouldn’t have let go so easily IMO.

                              Quite a bit better than James Lowe, enough said.

                                It's disappointing that Stevenson didn't get more chances when a dirtbag like Reece who has a number of mediocre tests and has managed to play plenty.

                                    Shame. Would strengthen NPC and Super Rugby.

                                      I don't think that's true at all.

                                      But, I think they were both unfairly overlooked for the ABs.

                                          @KiwiMurph That's interesting.

                                          Definitely, doesn't sound like he's coming back with the intention of making a bid for the ABs this season - if ever.

                                          Draw a line through his name.
