Would Ruddock not make more sense for bench?

Fair enough. Never rated Conan as a 6 in times I have seen him there. And think Ruddock more versatile. Although I accept this is a game more for fringe guys to stake claim.I wouldn't say so especially for this match. For international rugby Ruddock probably doesn't have the pace to play 8. Conan has plenty of top level experience at 6/8. Also presuming our intent is to run up a score, Conan offers much more in that regard.

Harsh on Keenan! Otherwise love the optimism, COYBIG!Absolutely love that, big pack this is also really mobile with most having excellent handling skills.
In the backline everyone apart from 10 and probably 15 against top teams is an individual linebreak threat.
Outside 16 and 17 also plenty of impact for off the bench for this game. I'd hate to be seeing Baird and Conan coming on fresh with 20 to go and Casey upping the tempo, presuming we use the bench properly.

Yeah I get you, just disagree personally. I am always pleasantly surprised by his ability to make a break where it isn't on.I really like the solidity that Keenan brings but I don't think he has the ability to make a break himself, against top opposition, the way the others do.
