    AB coaches going to games is so they can be seen to be doing their job and thus keeping the punters happy. I can't imagine there would be much they could glean from watching games live that they wouldn't get from the technology available to them.

    @Crazy-Horse Selectors often go to a game to watch one player. It's great way to see everything they do and don't do and to get a clear sense of strengths and weaknesses.

      Since we have so many selectors, you would think they should be capable of watching all the people they are responsible for selecting.

        @Machpants That first game might be a real shock, especially with a French TMO.

        On the other hand, the Georgian Ref is really good - one of the best in the RWC

        Oh, you’re being sarcastic. Right?

        He is an absolute shocker.

        He was, like Wayne Barnes, but he has really improved imo

          Physiotherapists will sometimes do hands on work with patients but also sometimes set them exercises to do in their own time to aide rehabilitation.

            I thought he was really good in the RWC. More consistent than most, communicated well, kept the game moving and didn't over-use the TMO.

                  Calm down everyone, Ethan Blackadder and Quentin Strange are fitting and raring to go against England.

                    Sititi has played other loose forward positions too hasn't he? I remember him playing 7 for Harbour?

                      Wallace Sititi must be picked. Great athleticism, huge potential and looking like a Test-match Animal.

                                  Sure, and I agree. Can't stand him personally.
                                  Jumped up little shit who publicly supported the "redneck" haka by the Wellington woman's team.
                                  But experience matters and he's better than Christie.
                                  They are all placeholders until Roigard comes back (bar Ratima)

                                          Running game, quick pass, gets the ball out fast, and as Rakete-Stones can attest, can hit like a truck.

                                          Yeah, plus definitely the best with messy ball too. So we won't lose it as much when Grace, Blackadder and Lio-Willie are still getting off the ground from the previous ruck...
