I think Hotham may go past ratima , to me it just looks like his execution is crisper .

-
From what I heard from someone at the Waikato club final, it sounds like the ABs might need two new halfbacks for the Arg leg. Hotham had surgery and Ratima has a high ankle sprain so out for a few weeks.
Roigard to play 80 mins, but who will we see brought into the squad? Christie, Fakatava, Roe and Preston are all possibilities.
-
Christie might be viewed as the safe option, given his experience but it’d be a wasted selection. He won’t be at the World Cup, he’ll come off the bench and add nothing and there’s an opportunity here to see what other players have to offer if they get an opportunity.

Send Fakatava. I want to see what impact he can bring off the bench

Leicester should be straight back in the squad. He killed it in France at centre and is better than all of our current wings.
The coaching in France must be amazing for him to have improved that much.

At least as good as the coaching in Ireland.

Reckon Argentina would be a great destination to watch the ABs. Red wine, steak, charming human beings - would be amazing tour
We went 2 years ago, AB’s test in BA, spent a week there
Ate our body weights in beef, drank all the wine.
People were amazing.
Couldn’t recommend more highly

Looked nothing of the sort for the Barbarians vs the Boks at centre and would do nothing for the ABs team speed at wing.

I don't like the idea of anointing this guy as a saviour just yet. He should have to earn it like everyone else

Hope they'll go for Fakatava in the 23 but think Christie will be in the squad on the "known quantity" theory.

Na I don’t reckon.
See Havili, David and Blackadder, Ethan.

I think they’ll likely bring in Fakatava, Roe or Preston. Christie is heading off so doubt it will be him.

I realise he's a midget in the modern game, but I was routinely impressed by Roe's game this year in SR. Well rounded skillset with good decision making.

Yeah, bit more of a playmaker in the JGP mould.
