@Dice said in SH International Rugby (other than TRC, ABs):
No former ABs
Jordan Taufua? Although I suppose he was never capped.
Did he ever make an AB squad? I can't remember.
@Nepia said in SH International Rugby (other than TRC, ABs):
@Dice I was wondering where Funaki of the Magpies players was, then remembered he's Tongan.
Is this Taufua's first Samoa squad?
Is Ili injured? He's one of the Magpies missing from the team.
I think it is Taufua's first time being selected.

I think he is. He's normally are starter for the Rebels, but hasn't played the last 2 (or 3) games.
I think it is Taufua's first time being selected.
Correct.

One guy I thought that might've been selected was Bryce Heem. He wanted to play for Samoa through the 7s loophole a few years back.

Heem was an influential member of the New Zealand Sevens team between 2011 and 2014.

@Dice It may have been a choice between him and Toala. Then choosing Toala makes sense, if only because Heem is 33.
I would've selected him ahead of Nigel Ah Wong who is 32.

@MN5 Don't know about your prediction, but your last sentence is definitely true.
They’ve gotta beat minnows like Argentina while the ABs keep avoiding them I guess.

Scotland’s two sides bow out: We’ll either have an Irish or South African winner of the United Rugby Championship after both Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh were knocked out of the competition in varying fashion. For Glasgow they copped an absolute hiding in Dublin at the hands of Leinster, as mentioned going down 76-14, before Edinburgh were eventually beaten 28-17 at the Stormers. With neither side making the Challenge Cup semis to boot, the double defeat last weekend brought down the curtain on a disappointing season for the Scots. -
