Loose forwards, Savea and Wallace most used and loads of others. Vaai not on the list.

Might be helpful to split them by position and starts/bench appearances?

@Canes4life they seem evenly matched with Mafileo having a bit more experience having been in AB camp before.

Lauaki has a higher ceiling, better athlete and more mobile around the park. Hits very hard defensively as well. Mafileo is probably slightly a better scrummager but Lauaki was never beaten this season so he’s come a long way.

Looking at Herald, it seems likely Lauaki has snagged back up TH spot. Which leaves Norris, Fusitua, Ofa and maybe Mafileo competing for LH role.

Would be happy with Lauaki as the 4th choice TH. Think he has a lot of upside and one for the future.

Ioane will tour.

Would be very happy to see Akira back, oh, you mean the smaller one

You onto my cunning plan to horde content

Moorby really stands out.

What an absolute quality find.

@frank such a good decision maker now. Who was it that said he chose wrong when he cut in for Roigard? That was fucking spot on seeing it again.

Don't be surprised if Siale Lauaki is on the plane to Africa.

22 days ago - this is how you deal in good oil.

And yes, I am patting myself on the back like a true narcissist.

@smudge happy to pat your back should we meet in the loos again.

Ethan de Groot tries his hand at YouTube.

Great work from the big fella!

@southernmann good size pig in that video
