[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1091316, member: 65365"] There are a few places that are debatable, but I can’t really see any surprise calls. A possible surprise could be Peter umaga jensen, since he has barely played this season but we are light on centres and he brings a hard running style that we need but with good skill set and strong defence. Ione and goodhue will be there , then do they pick leicester as a 13 option? Or ennor? Another surprise could be leaving out havili. If they pick tupaea, rts, goodhue, then they’ve got 3 12 options, plus if they pick leicester that will be 4 options, and they have Jordie. Another possible surprise would be telea, or aj lam, or rayasi. Tom robinson could make it. Ollie Norris could make it ahead of hodgman or ross. It’s possible they pick sowakula to prevent him from playing for fiji. But the safe guess would be De groot bower hodgman Taukeiaho Taylor coles Laulala taavao tuungafasi Retallick whitelock barrett vaai Cane savea ione papalii sotutu frizell jacobson Smith Fakatava christie Barret mounga perofeta Goodhue ione tupaea havili rts Clarke jordan barrett Reece faingaanuku Personally I think Christie has been poor against the brumbies, both times, not getting the ball out when the ruck is under pressure, failing to prevent turnovers. He was the same in tests last year. Otherwise he has a great all round game, but he could miss out to weber, or even TJ although TJ has played only two good games this year. Despite having a lot of good halfback options, actually none of them have been great this year. [/QUOTE]
