Ruling him out after one game - so Bridge and Reece gone for their anonymous RWC campaigns?

@Chris-B
By the stats, he was quiet, dangerous, and poor:
3 runs, 1 metre
1 clean break, 2 defenders beaten
1 turnover, 1 tackles made, 2 missedSimilarly Reece had:
5 runs, 6 metres
1 defender beaten, 1 offload
2 tackles made, 3 missedFor whatever reason play went to the other side and/or the others got more involved:
Bridge:
9 runs, 49 metres,
1 clean break, 3 defenders beaten, 1 try assist
2 turnovers, 5 tackles made, 1 missedTelea:
5 runs, 62 metres
2 clean breaks, 3 defenders beaten, 1 try
9 tackles made, 2 missed, 1 penalty conceded -

He's nearly 2 years older than Rieko was when he debuted. If the Olympics go ahead next year than Clarke couldn't be involved with the ABs until 2022.

also, how much does being a winger suck? The fuck were they even doing out there? There would have been people in teh stands who did more than these guys

That doesn't necessarily mean you get a line drawn through your name if you're the other guys, but it's a significant blow to their campaigns to be outplayed by the incumbent they're trying to unseat.
I'm biased, but I've got Will Jordan at the head of the new caps queue to join the outside backs - so the question is how many new guys do they want and how many incumbents might they get rid of?

you'd think they will be re-looking at those guys had previously committed, some might be closer to the ABs, while others might be further form the 7s than they were previously....

@taniwharugby Clarke is keen to go based on a quote only a week ago.
“I want to go to Tokyo,” he says. “It’s a big goal, especially while I’m still young. But we’ll just see how this season pans out. The ultimate goal is always the black jersey. If there’s a shot of that it would be something real cool to pursue. But the Olympics is once in a lifetime as well.” -

@mariner4life Didn't they have the game on in Cairns?
Crocodile bite through the legs of the TV tower or did it just sink into the swamp?
