    Narawa ruled out of the RWC. Here's your chance Foster to undo your initial fuck up, pick Finau as a replacement.

    Not that I don't believe you, but where did you get the info (Narawa's injury) from? AB team infos are difficult to get sometimes. Thanks

      @Tim Makes the decision to select him when he was nursing a chronic back injury seem even more ridiculous now. Foster is just so unbelievably stupid.

      @akan004 I cannot come up with new ways of describing the incompetence. A player who was completely expendable for this campaign.

        @Tim

        That seems very strange.

        It’s not as if he is a world class player with 50 tests behind him and you know what you are getting.

        Finau or Lord to be named replacement

          @DaGrubster Yeah, a one test rookie. Never going to make a difference in this WC, especially with the other wings we have.

            If they are bloody minded and go like for like maybe Stevenson, or maybe Blackadder leapfrogs Finau to reinforce the Loose forwards?

              If they want an actual six it's Finau or Ioane. If they want a lock it's Lord or Tuipulotu.

                Apart from Jordie injury ommission I got everything except had DMac instead of Leicester. Hard to argue that isn't strongest available starting XV.

                    @pakman That pack worries me. Not much go forward. Need forwards that make the gaineline consistently. Apart from Barrett and Ardie, I don't think the rest of the pack can do that.

                          His darts haven't been as consistent this year.

                            Foster will feeling smug about his own Buddha-like wisdom and picking an extra wing. A winger injury crisis was averted.

                              I just can't wait for this Foster era to finally end. It would be comical if it didn't upset me off so much.
                              The one player to make an impact last game, lets just drop him.
                              Lets just pick safe guys who we have tried and failed with.

                                  That's Finau as well. :winking_face:

                                    The replacement ought to be driven by injury status of BBBR/Frizell/Lomax. Obvious subs for latter two are Finau and Moody, with Ofa/Tamaiti covering TH.

                                    If any doubt about Brodie we need a grizzled old bastard. Probably Paddy T, or maybe Josh Dickson.
