Coltman? Looks more like a back though doesn't it...or again, is that Coltman in the background or is that Crotty?

Yeah, Todd is behind Kaino. Coltman is back right so it must be a back next to Squire.
So a predictable forward pack. The interest will be in the outside backs.

It's Crockett!
What self respecting forward would let a back near a lineout! Their brains would explode.

@Frye Of course! I was trying to work out who was missing and I always forget about Crockett.

-
Surely Crockett is taller than that?
@antipodean yeah that was why I thought it might be a back, but he does look bent slightly.
Surprised @ACT-Crusader didn't get that straight off the bat given he is looking for Cantabs to start where ever he can

Even though ABs fans seem to hate the new alternate strip, a group of guys at rugby shirt watch seem to be giving the designer(s) a good reacharound.

I didn't think it was Crockett because they usually don't let him train given he's the most important player for AB success.

Can't really fault those selections. TJ had to come in and very happy to see Reiko on the bench.

My only gripe is sopoaga. In 2015 out of nowhere he got a test against the books at Ellis park. IIRC not a single start this season. Can't help wondering if "operation retain Cruden" is playing a role but maybe that is tinfoil hat stuff.

I like both shirts the new French home shirt is nice too. I wait and see what the jersey looks like on the players/tv first.
