@SBW1 They can't call in a new player, unless they send someone home. Without an injury to another prop, I can't see that happening. I should add that Moody also hasn't set the NPC on fire thus far.

@Stag they should also fake an injury on Jacobson and call in Grace to…

Replying to yourself is never a good sign and I’m not sure I’m keen to endorse calling up a player even more injury prone than Blackadder.

He looks busy, but is ineffective against bigger players. Wait and see.

I think we can all agree he can’t be worse than Vaai.

At this rate, Robertson’s Cantablacks 2024 edition may be a step up from Foster’s 2023 vintage 😂

Well played @Duluth who called it ages ago.

@Stag Yeah, you could.

Meanwhile, there is a Blackadder shaped hole in the ABs squad incase you didn't know.

Consider that Blackadder shaped hole now filled you cheeky little fucking pup.

@Steve If only Beauden Barrett could go back to the days where he played the game like he was being controlled by someone on playstation, your life would be complete.

Did you cry when Fletch came on for his WC debut?

I don't think Ethan B plays like Jane but I do have a concern over

Lineouts (no tall loosies) and

EB's propensity to injury.

I really suspect Ryan does not rate Akira.

Ethan B is good in the lineouts.

Imo blackadder goes straight to the bench. 40 minutes for frizzell then bring on blackadder.

Hope he has better luck with injuries.
Seems he got nod as cover for Captain Sam.

I’m concerned that the absence of Bok teams from Super Rugby has lulled selectors into thinking jack of all trades loosies can cut it against the big boys.

And has led some of our loosies to think they are a helluva lot better than they actually are.

I was thinking this yesterday after the game , effective forwards in super rugby v effective forwards in test match rugby, is the gap widening ?

Is it becoming a bit like effective batsman in limited overs cricket v test cricket ?

Fair?

I think we need to let our forwards play in English, Irish and French club rugby so they can learn some Rugby smarts. Supersnore is making them dumb.
