2019 Rugby Championship

just chuck Jordie at 10...he is a JOAT-MON!

@antipodean Yes, we're very light on good "10s".
Edit: considering what happened during the 2011 RWC, I'd like Mitch Hunt and Josh Ioane to get more game time. Thinking that they capped Cameron ahead of them and might be tempted to call him up in case of injuries, gives me nightmares.
Don't think any of the others are even on a very distant radar, yet.

Mr Carter is just a short trip away, no worries.

@Stargazer Jordan and Nanai too.

@Stargazer Jordan and Nanai too.
the improvement in Nanai to the player we all thought he could be is one of the most damning indictment on the former Blues coaching team
-
@KiwiMurph But unlike Naholo, Bridge hasn't been playing badly either. He's not making mistakes, but has just not had many scoring opportunities. The ball is simply not going his way.

Anyone else wonders why Tahuriorangi has been picked again? Doesn't start for the Chiefs, doesn't shine when on the field. Bryn Hall on the other hand has been really good.

They are clearly favouring players picked last year over form for these foundation camps. Explains Jordie, Tahuriorangi, Coltman etc.

looking at the list and the order, appears D-Mac is there as a 10.

Imagine Tahuriorangi behind the pack Hall gets to play with.

@antipodean That excuse is over-used. Aaron Smith and TJP aren't playing behind that pack either.

Stoked to see Sam Cane. It suggests his recovery is going okay.
Cane has been cleared for contact and already undergone light contact according to Colin Cooper.
