Owen Franks still knows how to push.

Does he know how to do anything else though?

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.

i didn;t hear an gossip, just saw his game time and so didn;t think he'd been given much of a chance to shine, what has been said?

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.

@Crucial I no who you mean

you'd have to think if he can keep the form up he'll have another shot under Razor

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

[george33]

@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

[Stargazer]

I don't think we should accept gossip as facts.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Stargazer Especially when the gossip is almost unintelligible. #punctuation

[Stargazer]

@Kiwiwomble Yep, and coming from someone who's more often wrong than right.

[george33]

@Stargazer ok you just can't accept truth that's your choice just saying what I no and I do hope leister will come right and prove me wrong

[Chris]

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 ...

To a degree, Dagg 'bolted' over Mils as primary 15 in 2011.

Any forwards in the frame? Dyer has been good for the Chiefs, and there aren't a lot of fit props at the moment

[Stargazer]

@Tim Williams?
