@MiketheSnow is that the dropping of the two kiwi backs?
-
@Bones Who? Not sure if you mean them, but Johnny McNicholl is injured (ankle) and Hadleigh Parkes no longer eligible (moved to Japan).
-
@Stargazer actually meant Anscombe and Parkes, had forgotten about McNicholl. Thanks for the update.

@mofitzy_ I think Lowe becomes eligible in November so he might not even play.
Time is not on his side. Particularly with Covid messing up international schedules.

Most likely because in the text there was an asterisk denoting debutant or something and it messed with the post formatting.

COVID has caused a significant drop in the quality of players available to the Barbarians, but great for Chris Eves and Haereti Hetet to be given the opportunity.

@Stargazer you would've thought England were better off just doing a trial match, looking at the strength of that side.

@Stargazer That's only 22 players and not exacly a star-studded line up. Shall I clean my boots and get down to Barbarians HQ?

Pretty much a half strength England side too, so about right

AWJ about to equal McCaw's test cap record. At least he's a decent and likeable player.
Agreed. I don’t want to like him due to all the grief he’s caused me over the years but he’s just seems a decent down to earth bloke and a helluva rugby player. Always liked him when he was in a Lions shirt mind.
