    Sullivan brothers. Zarn has a game made for test rugby and Bailyn is an excellent utility.

      Bailyn’s game against Ireland has blotted his copybook in my opinion. Needs to put a run of excellent games together again.
      I hope it was an off night because it was really off.

        I'm happy to have an "only 1 brother starting at a time in the ABs" rule.
        20% of starting ABs have been Barretts lately and I'm not sure that is working out.
        Last time two or more brothers worked well as starters IMO was the Whettons (is somebody going to mention 2 Whitelocks? I recall one game that went well and not with the most recent non-Sam one).

              Your post seemed to be discussing on field play, and you can't argue they worked well as starters even if you don't like on of them.

                Yes you are right. Ok, the Brookes. The last time they played together in the ABs was 1999 I believe. That is 23 years ago. But your point stands.

                  Surely the Saveas must have had a good game together somewhere along the way? The Franks'?

                  Ben, Aaron and Conrad Smith certainly played well together 😉

                    I wished the Saveas had more time together.

                    Or the Gears.

                      Have just been looking through Jules final season and a bit when Ardie was mainly on the bench and would replace Cane. They had some good games together. Especially in 2016 against Oz. That slaughter in Sydney had them both doing well.
