    Jordie will finally get his chance in the midfield.

    Who would be next in the queue?
    Foster seems to see Fainga'anuku as a wing that covers centre. They aren't too fussed on blooding another 13 while waiting for Goodhue.
    I guess it would be PUJ despite his lack of game time.

    UPDATE: Ennor is to miss the Steinlager Series after suffering an appendicitis. Ennor has had the surgery and will be out of rugby for around five weeks. No replacement has been called into the squad at this stage.

    If I didn't know any better, I'd think appendicitis is contagious. Bridge had it not too long ago. I wish Ennor a speedy recovery.

    I hope they call up big Leicester, but expect them to give PU-J a ring. Seriously hoping it won't be Billy P.

    Edited to add that he'll most likely be back for the Rugby Championship, so it would only be a replacement for the Steinlager Series.

    Put 15 players on the park

    Keep 15 players on the park for 80 would be good, with the recent ABs card record

    PUJ must have done something really wrong to not get a call up.

    I'm not so sure.

    Foster has said that the focus is on 12. They have two proven international 13s, one more with lots of experience but not quite the finished product and one already identified as someone they want in the mix.
    12 is harder. When all the 13s are available 2 of them are also versatile. One more so than the other. We need 12 stocks to give options hence the throw of the dice already in that dept. Adding Lester or PUJ doesn't help much.

    Whether a replacement is needed will depend on Havili's fitness.

    Gregory could be an option for 12 if that’s what they need.
    Probably still a bit green, another good season at the Highlanders would help his cause.

    If I see Ma’a at swimming this Saturday I’ll try and persuade him to come out of retirement.

    Obviously I wish him well health wise, but I can’t say I’m particularly crushed by this. No way is he a test level player.

    If it gets him off the wing, even I might like the post.

    @rancid-schnitzel Yeah I'm in the same boat. Never seen the massive hype behind the guy but he's had a horrible run of injuries. Wish him well.

    That's because there hasn't been massive hype. Agree, he is not a test level midfielder. Not even sure I rate him there for the Crusaders.

    I think it has been said before, but PUJ has experience playing at 12 and 13.

    Did Foster say Ennor was 13 or wing cover? If so Big Leicester is like for like but PUJ the more established (in terms of appearing for the ABs) and as Frank said above, can play 12? Not sure Ennor was considered at all as a 12?

    If people don't rate him on the wing or at 13, what was he selected for?
