    @chris-b Rieko, Smith & JB are all (on paper) mid-field options too.

      @chris-b Who said anything about good, there is a lot of not good stuff going on in selections presently... 😉

      I mean Rieko can play 11, 12 & 13, Jordie can play anywhere from lock to 15 and BFA can play 13-15...we got it covered.

        I'd prefer one of Smith or TJP starts and have TTT on the bench. It would be a wasted opportunity otherwise, unless they use a test vs Argentina to give some squadies gametime. Besides, we know that DMac has a better pass from halfback than TJP anyway!

          TJPs form has been pretty up and down this year, injury hasn't helped. He single-handedly blew the Blues off the park in his comeback game but has since been off the pace for whatever reason. I think he needs more rugby, though I do agree it would be good to blood TTT as he looks a promising player.

            what was his excuse last year in Black?

                              According to Mils on Rugby Pass's Shortball podcast, Franks went off as a straight substitution ("dragged") rather than anything injury related.

                                Born in Timaru isn't he? How odd he feels like his team are a man down against a much better team, especially when his team are a man down. He's the kind of guy that perpetuates the dumb prop myth.

                                          @tim another player looking for excuses for not being good enough and playing week in week out in a tournament that doesn't create skills to play at international level. Other way to look at it is if we keep saying then suddenly it will become the truth in many people's mind.
