          Ah gotcha. Thank God for the SR heroes like havili and mounga, they'll bring to tough physical test matches

            Real issues at tighthead.

            Would be seriously looking at giving Franks a recall. Known quantity and a reliability at set piece, tackle and breakdown. Who cares if he isn't a carrying option. At least we would have the ball to do something with.

              If that's auto replace at work that's genius.

                  Ofa's scrum problems were evident again tonight, and he had Romano packing behind him. I think all 3 THs in the AB squad will have been put on notice because I don't expect them all to be at RWC 2023.

                    @Crucial that’s one opinion. Of course we don’t know what happens behind the scene but you don’t always have to be on the inside to know that things are not working right. I don’t have to work for Joe Biden to know he a complete buffoon. I judge him by his results. Same with Fosters ABs. Hope he proves me wrong.

                    What a cleverly worked political reference. Is it also your judgement that, if unsubstantiated insults work for Donald Trump, they are fine for a rugby forum?

                              I think Whitelock showed he’s the old lock to keep. Partner him with Barrett and have Vaa’i on the bench.

                              Brodie as old lock cover in the squad. Need minutes into Vaa’i now and see if he can cover six from then bench at Test level.

                                  He was specifically asked how his thumb was after the game and he said it was OK. I think the article is blowing up that it wasn't fully healed.

                                      He was specifically asked how his thumb was after the game and he said it was OK. I think the article is blowing up that it wasn't fully healed.

                                      I'm surprised he didn't say it has fallen off yet so I'm good.

                                        If GOAT can play a RWC on a broken foot, Sam can play with a broken thumb

                                          So the biggest outcome from last night is that Havili will now probably be the frontrunner for the 12 jersey.
