    Jermaine Ainsley started both games for ABs XV, this year...

    playing against Ireland is good experience to have.. and won Highlanders Forward of the Year I believe! To think he could have ended up playing for the Wallabies...

    He was smart enough to realize that 3 times was enough.

        Yes, I feel for you Wallabies fans, I do, really. By the way, I know of an international coach coming off a contract, perhaps Australia could nab him? He's really strong on learnings.

            Jermaine Ainsley started both games for ABs XV, this year, that was after Oli Jager withdrew from the squad.
            Ainsley has been pretty average during the NPC.

            The reserve TH's were Rakete-Stones (1st game) and Dyer (2nd).

            @Stargazer Tevita was the one called into the AB squad though which is why he didn't play in the XV games. I assume it will either be Moody or Mafileo from those props left in NZ.

              @Canes4life it’d probably be Angus. He was injured until the NPC

                    He's been good.. Auckland scrum has generally been strong. He's been used a lot from the bench as Auckland has wanted to get game time into some younger props and finish with experience

                    I presume it'll be him because you'd want someone who's familiar with the setup and can slot straight in if there's another injury

                      What was Newells injury? I feel for poor Lomax, has been in such good form, this just wasn't the tournament for him.

                        LF can't be in the starting team. On defence he turns slower than the QE2 and then gets outpaced by Vaa'i on the chase back.

                          He will be just like Deans and Rennie: hamstrung by an incompetent administration and given players who aren't up to it.

                          Nothing to worry about.

                            @Duluth either that or they call up Moody and use Ofa as a tight-head only.

                              @chimoaus Didn't look too serious. I just read in one of the media articles that taking him off the field was precautionary.

                                    That was a really good performance and a number of players got some important minutes. The Lomax injury is by a mile the biggest negative from that.

                                    DMac was very good again, Roigard did great work cleaning up scrappy ball and is such a threat with ball in hand, and Jordan looked to be getting into some good form with some magical touches.

                                      Possibly. I think they'd keep the same squad balance though

                                      Foster's comment:
                                      "It looks like a small strain, we won't know for another 24 hours but he was looking OK"

                                      So maybe a false alarm. I hope they don't fuck with the NPC teams and let all the props play

                                        so for those who couldn't watch the match and were foolishly following this thread for the score and overall comments, did any loosies play well? Did EB do anything well?

                                        Pretty happy with all 3 -
                                        Cane was everywhere without really standing out but first to the breakdown wherever it was (side bar was just thinking he's looking a lot more trim than in recent times)
                                        Jacobson usual big front on D. Carried well and always looking to get an offload away in the tackle. Bit of miscommunication clearing ball at base of scrum a couple of times to the half. Right on Canes heels.. I'm sure tackle stats will show them making plenty
                                        Frizzell - couple of decent runs hitting the line at speed, don't really recall seeing too much of him but aggressive on D when he needed to be

                                        Blackadder - spilled first touch. one decent run. that's about it

                                          If LF doesn't start next week, he should be on the bench instead of ALB.

                                          @Stargazer said in RWC Week 5: All Blacks v Uruguay:

                                          If LF doesn't start next week, he should be on the bench instead of ALB.

                                          pretty unimpressed by him getting skinned on the outside then showing the pace of a president grades prop chasing back and being passed by Whitelock
                                          that was ugly!
