Yep, things will get really interesting once Cane's back. We could have Papalii, Sotutu, Ethan, Luke and Frizell (?) all fighting for just one bench spot. A good problem for the selectors to have.Flockwitt wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 11:35 pm We were all calling for a settled set of loosies, let a combination develop. Sotutu has been the casualty of that I think. He's got time on his side. He'll get his chances again. They might prefer him as sub against the Boks too I'm wondering and playing Ethan now vs. the Wobs in a horses for courses vein.
Hmmm.. just wondering if the coaches don't have one eye on what they're going to do when Cane comes back. Ethan has more utility value for the place holder in the squad as opposed to be expected to start and Sotutu may be the one for the chop going forward.

And that's not including Robinson. Who, if I were a NH scout, I'd be waving the cheque book at right now. He'd be a tremendous buy at any price.Gumboot wrote: ↑Sat Sep 04, 2021 12:21 amYep, things will get really interesting once Cane's back.

Yep, he's another top prospect - probably unlucky not to be called up yet. I also rate young Flanders as one for the future.

Test start at 08h00 SA time.
3PM kick off here, an ideal time, giving me plenty of time to mow the lawns before the game. I am quietly confident that the ABs will do the business.
Yep, we're vulnerable all right. The absence of Smith, Mo'unga and Whitelock must have the Wallabies licking their lips. Hopefully Weber gets well protected coz if they knock him off his game early we'll be in big trouble. Will be watching the loosies closely. Papalii in particular still has a bit to prove on defence, imo.
They're a good side on the up. They could dick any other team in the world on their day, I reckon. Let's hope today's not that day.

Awesome to watch a Bled test at 8am on a Sunday morning.

First box kick after 16 minutes. How boring.

Beautiful try. All Blacks are going to eat us alive.

And that is why we can't box kick to the All Blacks.

Aussie scrummie taking too long at the base. Same issue we have with our 9s. The AB's clear as quickly as possible leaving minimal time for opp to set the defence.

Retard option to kick that away with 1 man adv.
Only 20 minutes
Then another player comes on, if I have the rules right.
