Scotland v All Blacks
-
@reprobate I'm not convinced on Razor having an issue with size, especially using Blackadder being dropped as the evidence.
I was just saying people see Beehre as too small for lock, which I've never quite understood and find even harder to understand after the weekend up against the big bad saffas.
-
He’s not Brodie or Whitelock height but he’s a genuine 6’6 and decent athleticism. I would not be concerned about him being at lock.

@Bones Josh Beehre being too small at 198cm & 118kg at 23 years is news to me, he's already quite a bit heavier than Darry & Lord who are both older, being over 198cm isn't so important (Maro Itoje is 197cm) it's more about arm reach and jumping height isn't it?

We need a tighthead lock, so once 6’ 6” it’s more about bulk. Early 120 kegs ideal.

The HP version says Bower, Darry, Jacobson, Ioane, and Love come into the 23.
-
My two cents. QT/RI/Big Lester will be centre pairing with one of the latter 2 on the bench. No other changes from 9-15
Forwards the same as last week with Lord partnering Dutch. Maybe Wallace instead of Lakai or Parker.
-
Sometimes it feels like a catch 22 ,
We complain our bench lacks impact , then we get some guys who do provide impact , then we want them to start and go back to a bench with less impact .

I think this is an exciting time following the All Blacks. Plenty of young players coming through showing promise.
We have had plenty of stale conservative selections over the last 5 years but things are changing.
Also like a good story. QT's good form after that dreadful injury and long recovery warms the heart.
Heading to Scotland in 36 hours should be good. -

Why does ALB deserve a run in the 22 jersey exactly ?
He doesnt. He has been poor as a bench player for a long while now.
