[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 394901, member: 24910"] A good looking squad. It will be interesting to see how they use their three start first-fives (Sopoaga, Barrett, Anscombe); I'd imagine one will play fullback, and one may partner Francis Saili (or Rhys Llewellyn) in the midfield. I agree the wing talent doesn't look as threatening as previous years, but Glenn Robertson and Charles Piutau look to be good players (I haven't seen Naholo or Scott). Surprised to see Reg Goodes didn't make it into the squad - I thought he would have been an ideal player to cover prop/hooker. In wonder whether he is injured? The loose-forward trio looks to be strong (as usual), with Luke Whitelock and Sam Cane bound to start alongside one of Shields, Bedwell-Curtis or Axtens (I'd prefer Shields.) Generally I find the Under 20 RWC to be the best quality rugby I watch all year, so I'll be looking to this years tournament as usual. [/QUOTE]
