AB's v England

[Alehana]

i just think he needs regular play at 7 then he can become a really good 7, its a case of his diversity is his downfall, rather than focusing on 1 position, he hasn't been helped by his coaches in airnz cup and s14 messing around with him.

id go with Latimer... Masoe has done his dash.... imo he should have never have been chosen in the first place... they dumped a pure number 7 in marty holah to make room for Masoe.

Latimer or Messam would be good bolters to pick imo... with So'oialo in the backrow it doesnt really matter so much because Rodney plays like a natural openside on the ground anyway... and Thomspon is also strong on the ground.

im more worried about the locking situation to be honest... because Brad Thorn is the senior lock and he doesnt really jump in the lineout. whoever goes in be it Boric or Eaton will have to take over as primary target in the lineouts... and with 2 tests against Matfield and co its going to be tough...

boric will be good soon, he showed great potential in england test, but he just needs time, i reckon he will be backup but not this test, Eaton will get the call up, his experience matters, whens james ryan comming back?? also tom donnely hows he going.

James Ryan retires i think... his knee was f*cked pretty badly and i think he graduated with a law degree and has started working in a firm...
