@canes4life Yeah - you'd think so. Especially with Goodhue unavailable.
ALB, Rieko, Havili and PUJ?
Liecester must be a big chance as a. Centre/Wing
Especially as it will 3 PI nations (minus most/all NH pros) in a row. See some youngsters in the ABs environment if nothing else.
Probably it won’t tell us much may paper over the cracks.
Will have to wait until to RC .I will throw my teddies if Foster gets reappointed for another 2 years after these three 'tests'

I'm gutted about this one. I really rate him ball in hand and think he had the opportunity to be our next Nonu, or perhaps a bench option covering wing and midfield. Remember Nonu took some serious time to be our number one.
Still, have to assume the AB brains trust were happy to let him go, and those guys do know better than me oh that's right no they don't it's Foster.

I think it's too late to wait for Laumape to be the next Nonu. Nonu turned the corner in 2008 when he was 25. Laumape is 28 and still hasn't shown much growth in the skills department.

@machpants I feel like you're struggling to get the right vibe with your giffing there fella.

Josh Iosefa-Scott qualifies for England. I'll be interested to see how he develops at Exeter.

@machpants I feel like you're struggling to get the right vibe with your giffing there fella.
He’s no chance of winning a fernie with that effort

What about most overly confident yet least appreciated gif-fer?

@yeetyaah Iosefa-Scott didn't go to a traditional rugby school (Melville HS) so wasn't even on the radar until playing club rugby.

Not sure whether it has been posted before, but Cole Forbes (BOP) signed with Glasgow Warriors back in February. He is Scottish-qualified through his grandfather and was named in the Scotland squad for the July Internationals, yesterday.

Departing Hurricanes and All Blacks second five-eighth Ngani Laumape says his decision to leave for France was made easy by New Zealand Rugby offering him a pay cut. “It wasn’t hard [the decision] when I was offered a contract [by NZ Rugby] that was asking me to take less income,” Laumape said. “Once that came into perspective I had to make the best decision for me and my family and my kids.”
