    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.

              @Stargazer very very unlikely after last season on and off field was given great chance and basically blew it

                I think the term used was 'a torrid time' in camp.

                Anyone know what happened? Not after salacious gossip just trying to understand the talk.

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

                      Just a line in an article about a week ago that said he had a bad time in camp last year and then the 'sauce' comment above fro you know who that implied he had shit the bed and wasn't welcome.

                          For sure. Maybe the imlication is that he is happy to wait until then if he has somehow burned bridges with Foster?

                                      It was interesting to see In the bit of pre game time footage in the Crusaders dressing room for the Brumbies game,Razor was having a big chat to LF, whatever was said seemed to have worked.

                                          There's a few I'd forgotten there.

                                          But you can throw in (off the top of my head):
                                          Zinny
                                          McCahill
                                          Oz
                                          Kronfeld
                                          (did they include Mika?)
                                          Carter (kinda)
                                          Kahui (as a winger)

                                          Others I'm not thinking of ...
