Hopefully we don't have to wait too long before we get that Jones/Beard partnership that everyone wants to see.I threw up at that second row partnership.
You've lost your Johnny Sexton supporting privileges by not being bitter af. Please choose a new province/club to support and I'll file the paperwork.I threw up at that second row partnership.
Love the front and backrow. Definitely a team that can have a cut. I actually like watching Smith play and think he'll be fine even good for this match but if Biggar's injury is anyway serious. Gatland has really shot himself in the foot, again.
We're talking about Smith playing 10, not taking AWJs spotWho would you rather a jinky 12 Yo vs an old man made of glass?

Then Beirne will me to lock i guess. And he gets replaced at 6.AWJ should be starting if we have to play him, better if he gets injured he can be replaced.
What do you do if he comes on at 50 then gets injured 10 mins later?
Problem is apart from the South African (A) match, none of the other games have been tests. Makes it very hard to judge as players can only play what's in front of them, but realistically only 23 players will have faced an actual competitive side. So do you pick those as they've actually played a decent side or hope that those who played well against weaker opposition also play like that against the Boks. Not sure there is a right answer, but having weak provincial sides has hurt the tour in more ways than one.Not convinced by VDM at wing for the tests though. He's played well against weak opposition but hasn't been tested.

Stormers with a 27 man squad, and we've got a one armed pensioner on our bench!
