    Don't think too many other countries have cottoned on to our specialist left wing bench spot innovation yet.

    You just wait until they replace ALB with DMac and have a 5-2 split, so that we finally achieve a whole backline of first fives and wings.

    Edit: and still have a spare wing on the bench.

    sounds like a golden KFC sponsorship opportunity.

      @nostrildamus I haven't tried the first fives from KFC. Are they as good as crusaders ones?

        I can recommend the 10 nugget combo. Just haven't tasted it.

          Another test for the judiciary. Owen thinks he's playing for Wigan, like his Dad. Apparently it's his first RC in a test match. The guy leads a charmed life clearly

              Ntamack out. Farrell and Sexton banned. Cooper dropped. (Edit: Pollard under the old injury cloud). Curse of the 10s?

                France have decent enough back up options. Pretty sure also some guy called Stéphane Donaud.

                                  @sparky Sad for him, but I think Alex Mitchell who will replace him is a better player anyway.
