I know they have protocols and will have access to good medical advice, but I'd of been tempted to give Crotty and Cane the rest of TRC off.
A little surprised SBW hasn't been slotted straight back in though, but Glad ALB gets a start.
He was sick on Tuesday and didn't train, I guess that is why

Grammar Nazi alert...but “I‘d have been tempted“
Don’t have a problem with Cane & Crotty playing myself.

it's kind of: I know they have all the medical records and specialists giving us advice, but I think they are WRONG! It's a small step to THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU VACCINATE! WAKE UP SHEEPLE! YOUR GOVERNMENT IS LYING TO YOU!
I'm more in the fact that they are still learning the alot about Head Knocks and the long term effects of it, so appreciate they are only going with the known medical advice.
Granted if he is ok to play now, he is ok to play in 6 weeks, but I do still wonder if both these fellas need to have a look at thier technique, probably Cane more so.

@bovidae although, as has been the case in the past couple of tests, SBW could very well end up playing >70mins as our bench has had to do.
-
@taniwharugby Yep. Does the TAB have odds for Crotty lasting the 1st half?
Hansen and co will be wanting Whitelock to play the full 80 mins.

@taniwharugby I get what you mean. I know the protocols and processes are rigorous, but you can't help but be concerned when our guys are getting a bunch of head knocks in a pretty short period of time.
Resting them for the remainder of the TRC would also pose a challenge further down the line in terms of match fitness etc for the overseas tour. Not to mention how they fit into the systems we're setting up for 2019. Then again you could argue that Cane and Crotty are longstanding ABs so getting up to speed on the park wouldn't be as hard for newer guys. And if Crotty/Goodhue is the way they are leaning for our starting midfield they've got their super rugby partnership to call on.

Things have changed quickly for Tuipulotu. A week and a half ago people were wondering when he'd return to the NPC
If it was world cup year, I'd want Romano.
I don't really rate Pat T.
Has anyone underwhelmed at AB level as much as Pat T in recent years? I think he's had a charmed ride by the AB selectors.
-
Apparently SBW still sick, so been withdrawn, Goodhue to the bench.

i want SBW's job. Pulling in a massive pay packet for having the same impact on test matches that i am

@mariner4life you will have to start believing in something though....
