    really a bit Blah about this announcement, seems like the biggest question marks and unknowns are who is the least worst alternative

    Yeah, although I guess we could look on the bright side? Loose forward stocks are (seemingly) up, with a number of guys finally hitting form all at the same time. So it's not like that there - probably the same for the FR, where there are a number of young fellas really putting their hand up.

    Midfield, meh - but probably no more meh than last year. Retallick back, A Smith in career best form, despite previously being in career best form, Mounga ready to make the step up and ensure he still missies kicks to touch so we have something to argue about.

      It's also only the squad for the PIOTR games, a second squad will be announced for the RC.

          We just need Jordie to play another full season on the wing for the fern to have a complete meltdown.

            @kiwiwomble I expect if we had an incoming Welsh, Irish or English side there would be a different feel

                    The official youtube feed has no sound. Constant complaints in the live chat.
