[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 686300, member: 44360"] Amen to especially this, but the entire post as a whole. Very few of the domestic guys stood out today and the one's that did are really guys that should be impact subs or spot starters. Maybe Crowley was watching 2003 RWC highlights and thought Namibia were a joke side? Well they aren't they have an OK forward pack and decent FH, if Botha hadn't of gotten hurt maybe it's him running on the outside lane at the end and the African side gets the winning try. I think what worried me most today was a seeming lack of urgency from Canada, and some plain old laziness at stretches. Questionable slections as well, where is Phil Mackenzie? Listed as hurt by us but trotting out for Sale this weekend, ditto for Thorpe he must have been an improvement over Moonlight. Pritchard could have been on the bench and probably would have hit one of the two missed Braid attempts to give us breathing room. I'm not expecting Cudmore till Friday but a few of the other pro's were oddly missing. Just tweeted Bryan Kelly, thanking him for the stream and asking what attendance was...apparently the ARC crowds were a lot stronger, maybe a 1,000 at most it seems. Hopefully that will be it for the Colwyn Bay thing at least for a very long time, think it's now 6 tests in 3 years which is clear oversaturation.
