[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 860151, member: 74121"] From what I have seen from Brazil they are very inconsistent and play much better at home. Sancery and Duque can both show tremedous flashes of ability and flair but I don't expect them to get much of a platform to perform. They can also get tired later in games. I expect Romania to dominate as that looks a surprisingly strong selection from Howells. I think they will win by around 35 points (I'd have said more if it was a larger field). To be honest Howells has done so well since November that I have lost any right to question his decision-making around selections even if I rarely understand them. I think it is reasonable for him to limit the exposure of 21 year olds to the international scene as they'll still be very young come the RWC. Their time will come, particularly with the residency rules thankfully changing. I'm a little puzzled why this game wasn't played in Brazil instead. I would have thought that would be better for all concerned. [/QUOTE]
