Dominate physically eh. I guess that makes Akira a certainty at 6. Unless it was a throwaway useless remark.
I feel like they will go for Frizzel, purely down to his "vast experience" and the loss of caps elsewhere, with Ardie the only experienced loosie. Prepare for meltdown.
It's funny, all my Canes mates talk about Akira being a waste of space and not having done anything in black since his "debut" in 2017 and it's impossible to convince them otherwise. Then you come on here and it swings the other way.

Score more points than the opposition
That's all you needed to say.
No it’s not…this place can still be a war ground even after a win!

The Fern has definitely gone through some cycles where winning was not enough. It had to be by 10 or more, or even 20 or more. The odd “we should put 50 on them” was said with a sarcastic ‘haha’ after it, but we know there was a seriousness to it also.
Scoring more points than the opposition has never been enough, because it had to be done in a certain way or with errorless rugby or with tries and not penalties, let alone those ‘cop out’ drop goals.

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.
Man, this guy has been unlucky with injuries. Midfield is looking light now

Jordie will finally get his chance in the midfield.
@Rancid-Schnitzel will be along shortly to like your post.

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.
