Most of those changes make sense. Horne is a weird selection though. He wasn't in the original squad and is off overseas.

[mariner4life]

Moore is done, why bother bringing him back? I read today he still expects to play the RWC in 2019? fat fucking chance

[pukunui]

[Sapetyvi]

@mariner4life I think he can expect what he wants, but fuck me I will change sides to the AB's if Moore is still around come 2019. No fucking idea in chanting for a team that shapes itself for failure.

Racist.

Was going to take the boys to see this, but I think my hard-earned will be much better spent on Despicable Me 3.
