    @Bovidae Always has and always will be. Kirifi I suspect ends up being a great example of this. Assuming they see Savea & Lakai as opensides, he is going to be up against it against Blackadder and Papalii, and if the Canes form does not turn around he probably won't get to push his case in the finals.

    FWIW, I would select him at this stage, but also, you compare him to say Tizzano or McReight, who are noted for their defensive capabilities/breakdown work, and I feel like they both offer more in possession than Kirifi. Lakai and Savea present a better all-round package.

    Finau has been the best six by a country mile. Would be outrageous to pick a seven ahead of him.

    Love

    Jordie hasn't had much of a break has he? If not, I wonder if that will impact his effectiveness and or availability for selection?

    @cgrant not so sure about Beehre and Lakai. Little issue with the rest.

    @Crazy-Horse Jordie was Man of the Match for Leinster yesterday in the big European Cup QF win against Glasgow. He's not be used every game so he's had some rest time. He will be available for the AB tests and, if fit will be, the starting 12.

    @cgrant Starting 15 looks good. I wouldn't be using Beehre, but no real issues with the rest.

    Pleased to see Beehre getting some recognition - I could see him leapfrogging Darry over the next 12 months

    The Media and hype around Jordie in the champions cup is insane, they absolutely love the guy and he seems to be lighting it up over there. To be fair that leinster team is absolutely stacked so makes his job easy but seems to have done him a world of good in a new environment

    The Barrett's have a weird cult of personality around them. It's hard to understand. It caused BB to rated his entire career on a 2 year purple patch, JB's notable error prone game to be mostly overlooked in a way other player's don't, and Scooter's bad form to be forgotten after one decent game.

    That's some decent Cantab/Canes bait. 😉

    it's good to see the Highlanders enthuiasm, but why do you think that Ethan de Groot will make the all blacks? He has been nailed in the scrum, he is really out of shape around the field. There is nothing that he does well. How delusional are you?

    Same here. The kid is gonna be a star I feel. I would like to think that it's a matter of when, not if he gets picked.
