    The most important words out of Razor in the breakdown interview was that he doesn’t only want specialists - the ability to play two positions is important to him.

    That’s a fascinating approach to international rugby but explains a lot about the selections we’ve seen.

      Ratima-Roigard nine and ten will be interesting.

        I mean he would probably go better at 10 for the Canes than the other options.

            And Perenara for the Canes.

            Maybe Plummer should give it a go. Two positions clearly wasn't enough to get him over Havili.

              I don't think Perenara has actually started any games at 10 has he? Dupont's had a handful.

                  You need Ioane at centre, the Canes faction will break the internet on their own with the omission of Proctor the Great.

                  Haha, trolling! Even Canes4life would say Ioane deserves to start. He's the incumbent and has done nothing massively wrong to deserve to be dropped. If Proctor does make the bench I would be surprised

                  You sure about that ?

                  Go and look at the AB thread.

                        this... this does not fill me with confidence.

                        Every few years some coach comes in that thinks he is going to revolutionise the game, and every time it fails and it turns out that the fundamentals still matter most. Specialists. Set piece. Get over the gain line on first phase.

                                That’s a fascinating approach to international rugby but explains a lot about the selections we’ve seen.

                                Fletcher Newell at fullback will be interesting.

                                I think his ball skills will flourish more at 10

                                  We seem to have a lot of fullbacks now if they are thinking of Jordan at 15 as well. Hopefully they are looking at Jordan on the wing.

                                  It's no good being able to play multiple positions if you are not good enough in any of them. Havili shouldn't be near this squad, Crusader bias strikes again.

                                  All part of the master plan of rolling Havili out for the two Springbok tests.

                                  Well he did score the match-winning try over there did he not? In that surprise win in SA when Fozzies career was on the line.

                                  We all have him to thank for keeping Fozzie in the seat for the WC.

                                    this... this does not fill me with confidence.

                                    Every few years some coach comes in that thinks he is going to revolutionise the game, and every time it fails and it turns out that the fundamentals still matter most. Specialists. Set piece. Get over the gain line on first phase.

                                    The most important words out of Razor in the breakdown interview was that he doesn’t only want specialists - the ability to play two positions is important to him.

                                      It's OK, our players are great on both sides of the ball.

                                        Next you’ll be telling me that when Preston played a match in NZ he wasn’t a hometown boy.
