Gcobani Bobo on the SuperSport program suggested the coaches pick Faainganuku at 12 and honestly it's not the worst idea.

Was there a worse one? Did someone suggest picking Franks at 12?

Too many shots to the head that guy

@Bones Schalk or @Bones with too many shots to the head?

The Saffas are still watching Super Rugby? I thought they only focused on their new competition that they can win these days.

Is their new comp basically just Currie Cup?

[Stargazer]

@Nepia I've seen plenty of comments from Saffas on social media saying they were watching SR and wished they were still playing in that comp.

[Stargazer]

@canefan Uhm, you know they're playing in the United Rugby Championship?

They = Bulls, Sharks, Lions and this year's URC winners, the Stormers.

No. That sounds like Super Rugby. Minus SRA.... For a guy who would follow SR religiously, play the tipping games, watch all the tests, my interest is at an all time low right now

It's on at a favourable time for them is the big one. But also they recognize the quality of skill on display is often superior, even if their own rugby can match or better super rugby in terms of physicality.

Ah right.

[ACT Crusader]

@Kiwiwomble really looking forward to the DHL locals going against the Emirates faithful.

@Bovidae good video.

It actually reminded me of when I watched PGS play bball for Fiji under 18s or 19s in a game in Melbourne about 10 years ago. He had some skills

[Bovidae]

@ACT-Crusader That video also shows how much his body shape has changed from basketball player to rugby player.

Would like to see this sort of a team. Maybe even RTS starting over Tupaea. RTS will need to be thrown into the deep end before the World Cup at some point, sooner rather than later?

Not sure if Goodhue at 100% yet but if he is even him over Tupaea.

Taukeiaho best hooker atm but I think Ross should be on the bench atleast so a chiefs front row coming on together in Ross’ debut makes sense to me.

What a totally likeable guy.

[Nepia]

Thinking about PGS - this must be our most foreign born AB team in a while with him, Fakatava, Reece, LF, RTS, Akira, Ofa, Laulala, Ross, Tauki'aho and the Ginga. I think that's it? Even a couple of whities too.
