    @dogmeat I see a problem with their reasoning. We’re constantly told he doesn’t go to rucks, now we’re being told he takes too long to get up from the rucks he doesn’t go to. 😉

    🤔 Well he doesn't go to rucks because the few he has the fortune to attend, it takes him several phases before he's on his feet for the next one that forms around him. 🤓

              @Canes4life That was a contribution from the writer, not a quote from Hansen.

                  @Canes4life Ha ha, they did it even though Hansen went to pains to emphasize that he wouldn't name anyone.

                    2 or 3 surprises. So does that mean 2 or 3 players beyond the multitudes that have already either been capped, played a match, been in a training squad, or Akira? Because none of those would be a surprise

                      My guess is Braydon Ennor must be impressing!

                          Why? He's heading overseas. He's good but not so good that he will force himself into a farewell RWC squad.

                            You'd think he has an out clause

                              I think he’s re-found the form he needed to show about 2 years ago (thanks Tana!), so it’s probably too late for him to really get established before he runs out of gas; there are too many really good young outsides coming. I know he’s only 25, but most top out at 27, so that’s not much time; he’d be unlikely for the next RWC, for example.

                              That’s a shame for the Blues as he is a key piece of their puzzle right now. If I were him, I’d go get paid.

                                As much as I am a Canes fan, on song Smith is untouchable

                                They are a great 1/2, quite different, and I can't wait for TJ to top Homophobe to SR top try record

                                        @Yeahtheboys seems reasonable, tho SBW will start of fit imo. Experience and all that. It's not as cut and dried as first reading, some will miss test, so maybe based on workload

                                          Would like to see Hodgman get a run. Good around the field, but needs to be tested in the scrum at a high level. Better player than Moli IMO.
