    I see lots of people expecting BB to "carve up" or "take his opportunity" to "put pressure" on RM this week. Bit of a shit sandwich if you ask me. Fly to Perth with key players left behind. Still tinkering with our back row. TJ back in the 9 jumper. He could easily have some pretty average ball to use.

    I hope he goes well, but I won't be jumping on the bandwagon to bag him if he doesn't.

    @machpants And he has years of experience playing with TJP next to him, and Ardie in front of him.

    Coverage starts here in Oz on Sunday at 3.15pm - on Fathers Day. How good is that? 1st beer at 3pm, some sort of meat on low'n'slow in the background, a nice red decanting to be enjoyed later on.

    Going to be a ripper of a day!

    Sorry you poor Mexicans down south but have to brag about tickets for the double farking header at Suncorp! How good is that.

    Now, there will probably be an outbreak and it will be cancelled....

    How many starts has he had at fullback?

    Started 8 tests at fullback and 8 tests on the wing (7 on right and 1 on left).

    Has played a bit of both off the bench.

    People seem to forget sbw played two sessions in France before coming to NZ and the ABs. Even then he still couldn't de League his tackles, and had kick it dead and get a yellow brain farts for ABs. RTS had heft it too late to make the RWC squad imo, especially with covid disruptions

    SBW was a back rower who moved to the midfield

    RTS is a shit hot fullback who will play wing.

    Give him time though, to give him the best chance. We've seen way too many shit hot League players who've turned out to be shit playing rugby at Test level.

    Sounds like the bogans are in charge of music for the day, inspiring seeing guys in their 20’s listening to Thin Lizzy, Ram Jam and Bob Segar.

    @duluth thats good for Moody, it was a foot injury wasnt it he was out for, which would affect the stability on heavy lifts

    He gets enough weight training lugging his head around all day to be fair.

    I’ve heard Mo’unga and Smith are unlikely to play any part in TRC, their babies aren’t due for a couple of weeks and they’d still have to quarantine for 2 weeks in Australia before playing so I’m guessing they’ll just join the team in the US?
