    @chris-b Rieko, Smith & JB are all (on paper) mid-field options too.

    Just not very good ones IMO. 🙂

    @chris-b Who said anything about good, there is a lot of not good stuff going on in selections presently... 😉

    I mean Rieko can play 11, 12 & 13, Jordie can play anywhere from lock to 15 and BFA can play 13-15...we got it covered.

      I'd prefer one of Smith or TJP starts and have TTT on the bench. It would be a wasted opportunity otherwise, unless they use a test vs Argentina to give some squadies gametime. Besides, we know that DMac has a better pass from halfback than TJP anyway!

        TJPs form has been pretty up and down this year, injury hasn't helped. He single-handedly blew the Blues off the park in his comeback game but has since been off the pace for whatever reason. I think he needs more rugby, though I do agree it would be good to blood TTT as he looks a promising player.

          what was his excuse last year in Black?

                            According to Mils on Rugby Pass's Shortball podcast, Franks went off as a straight substitution ("dragged") rather than anything injury related.

                              Born in Timaru isn't he? How odd he feels like his team are a man down against a much better team, especially when his team are a man down. He's the kind of guy that perpetuates the dumb prop myth.
