@Nogusta Ce n’est pas France XV?

[Mr Fish]

Yeah England were supposed to be lining up a game against the All Blacks XV but nothing's been formally announced yet. Imagine the All Blacks XV will play at least two games, even if one is against a club side.

Cela dépend de l'équipe française qui se présentera ce jour-là!

@reprobate he is a swing bench forward. Those are handy in a squad.

I imagine Ennor’s extension through 2026 means he is right in contention to be named in this French series and rugby championship. Can’t imagine he would extend without holding conversations with higher ups. Just joining the dots

[Landers92]

Sounding like Aumua most likely out of the French series

Is this an example of Razor being bold?

Extra bold when he starts him ahead of Proctor

Yup. He is the injury cover who will be called in

@KiwiMurph to be fair Amua’s throwing in is real libility not that i’m saying Bells the answer either would have taken RR before both of them

Aumua was fine last year on the EoYT.

There is a lot of pressure on the Canes hooker given their lineout options. Often they had Kirifi, Lakai, and Iose as the loose forwards with two locks no bigger than 197cm.

I think I would have given Aumua some leeway after such a strong finish last test season but yes there are a number of players that have shown more than Bell

RR
McAlister
Moananu

He was better than fine. Most posters were overwhelmingly positive about his impactful performance up North, including an 80 minute gem.

@canefan

I was referring to his darts specifically.
