    @mariner4life Didn't they sign Moody to a long contract extension as well? It's like they stopped watching rugby after the Lions tour 2015.

        the plan seems to be to play the exact same forward pack in two consecutive world cups

            I have heard a comment that the current coaches think that props generally need to be at least 28 years old to be developed enough for test rugby ...

                  No, that's bollocks. Who would take over for a start, and the buck stops at the top. He just hasn't owned up to his incompetence at all

                    Although Bower has been excellent, I think the way that he is going well - essentially based on repeated efforts - shows that we should be using the younger players. For all we know, another one of the younger props with a big motor could be even better. When he is getting compared to old slow set-piecers like Laulala and Karl, it's not a surprise that he is a bright spot.

                    I'm not trying to run him down, just arguing that if they made better selections, we'd know if he was the best next LH around or is just better than the old slow ones we currently have.

                    Bower isn't young either, he's 30.

                    I wouldn't be looking so much at the players age or experience (or lack of it), but more their performance. Just like the introduction of ST, finding new props with the hunger is a good start.

                        I’m not amenable to it but I think it will be the result.

                        Can they attract a world class defense and attack coach though? Schmidt can likely do one of those roles. Plus?

                          Just a question. That initial squad was for the Ireland series only wasn't it? When does the new squad get announced considering that they are meant to fly out soon?

                            had the same thought this morning

                            any change has to be now, or we wait until October.

                            If they decide to wait until October i can see him staying the other 12 months unless we lose absolutely everything.

                                Normally those things are announced at the morning press conference on the day following the test, you know the one foster wimped out of

                                      @mariner4life yeah I mentioned that in one of my hundred posts yesterday...if they move, it needs to be now to give the new coach a chance to select thier TRC squad.

                                      Post TRC will just damage things further.
