[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1042896, member: 65365"] I dont know how bug the squad is goong to be, but will be interesting to see who they pick in the midfield. Potentially they will just pick havili and ione, and rely on jordie as cover for the first two tests. Or do they pick PUJ despite him getting limited gAme time this year for the canes? Liecester might have a good chance. Ennor and proctor are veey good but probably not what we need given their lack of punchiness and our other options at 13. Do they pick tupaea as a look to the future? Don't think hes ready yet but maybe they just get him in the sqaud? my guess is they pick leicester, havili, ione and alb, thats it. Even if alb doesnt play i think theyll have him in the squad. also, loose forward. Surely they wont pick grace again, hes like reuben thorne but not nearly as good, not all black quality for me. How injured is frizell? I think too injured, same with ardie and cane, whoch means our entire starting loose forward trio of last year will be unavailable. Ethan blackadder has been very good. Sotutu hasnt been as strong as last year but has still been good. Jacobson has been good. Sanders is a loss i reckon, can cover all positions. I dont think bishier has been as strong. Kirifi has cut down significantly on the number if penalties he gives away but has he been better than harmon? Boshier hasnt been as strong as last year, and they didnt want him last year, though he has improved on the carry. Devan flanders has been excellent on defence and good wirkrate, not too bad on the carey but they might prefer a better carrier. Akira hasnt shone in his limited oppirtunities for the blues but was good for abs last year. Tom robinson? Im not convimced hes the enforcer needed in test rugby. Papalii is obvious. i think they just go for who theyve picked in the past, except grace, and add blackadder. So akira, blackadder, papalii, kirifi, sotutu, jacobson. [/QUOTE]
