I thought you would be happy- No Jonny :cry:

Kearney is a lucky man on current form, disappointed there is no Zebo either

[kilburn_ralph]

Though I'd probably play Davies instead of O'Driscoll to make it 6

[Luis Anaconda]

Still think Jonny will make an appearance in there at some point. No other fly half option in the centres of full backs - ie no Hook. Seems a bit light

All those defeats in Autumn seem to be forgotten quickly :-)

[kilburn_ralph]

The other 3 all have decent wins over them in last few years

[redgunamo]

He has to be?!

Otherwise, I reckon this is a group to win the series. wd, WG, imo.

[kilburn_ralph]

Maitland hardly fills me with excitement

[Snin]

so need some english in too , as they good Vs Oz and even beat the All blacks becasue of noro virus but a wins a win!

[kilburn_ralph]

[Luis Anaconda]

as well. And ZEBO

[Luis Anaconda]

Thought Hartley would go but not Youngs

[kilburn_ralph]

Although the Aussies may draw one I suppose

[Luis Anaconda]

[kilburn_ralph]

The Aussie teams look great in the Super 15. They're usually poor.

Should be great series

[Luis Anaconda]

George Smith is still playing somehow

[kilburn_ralph]

No you do

[Luis Anaconda]

Unlucky that there strength in the back row is countered by everyone else being good there. Would rather Ryan Jones though than some of that Welsh lot

[PSRB]

I have no other issues with the squad
