    I'm gonna throw Narawa in the mix.

    His error rate is way down and he has pace and power.

      Can Roigaard could be the back up halfback we are searching for.

        His play so far this season is miles ahead of the other options.

        Gilbert and Proctor both looked good as well. Albeit one has to take into account the opposition in those performances.

          Think Kiwiwomble mentioned him last week but if there's injuries in the front row Jermaine Ainsley possibly comes into contention?

              Does he know how to do anything else though?
              Franks is the type of prop that teams like Ireland plan to isolate in defence and ran at/through.

                  I'm going to throw Billy Proctor into the mixer, he has been rock solid for the Canes to kick-off 2023, continuing his form from the NPC. With plenty of uncertainty around our midfield for the World-Cup, Proctor wouldn't be a bad option with the way he's playing.

                    Win World Cups. He's won two of them which is two more than anyone in the Ireland Squad.

                      If Fainga'anuku keeps playing the way he's doing now, there may be one spot less for a bolter.

                            Maybe,But a good chance for 2024 if he keeps up his form through next season.
                            Different coaching,different eyes for selections.

                                      @Crucial well when u late to training for a start doesn't help and the attitude with especially the chiefs was not welcome and fozzy doesn't accept that or rest of coaching staff and his on field play was poor
