            Hopefully they are just being cautious with an understrength French side and have him rearing to go vs the Boks.

                    On about Bowers singing ability.

                        Explosiveness isn't binary. It's a spectrum.

                        All of those players have various levels of explosiveness to their carry - even Blackadder. They're all more explosive compared to Blackadder.

                        The selectors have said they want to see more explosiveness.

                        We will have to agree to disagree.

                        Even Fletcher Newell is explosive on the carry.

                        Granted I’m talking compared to someone standing still but it’s still comparable

                            as much as in principle an international is more prestigious than a super game.....i dont blame any of them playing in the final, i think any player would have. and for injures that need treatment and being out for 6-8 weeks, that was going to effect the French series regardless

                                Razor better get his selections right and the team better gel or else they could get Munsoned vs this inexperienced French side.

                                    To be fair Williams came off in the 55th minute and sat on the sideline in no apparent discomfort - did not ice or elevate his knee which was strapped. Participated in the celebrations. So I don't think the final exacerbated the injury.

                                    I think a torn meniscus can be repaired without surgery but he is erring on the side of caution by having surgery. This might be one of those occasions where playing was the right thing to do as is opting for the surgery.

                                        Sounds like Razor won a bet for saying the word sing or singing at least 4 times in an interview.

                                        Wanting to play with pace, great to hear that.

                                          Disagree. I'm glad they played. It was a final. Super Rugby needs to be important. It's not just a trial for test rugby.
