I think they will swap Hutchinson and Nikoro and the new Fijian 7s player will also be on a wing.
Why are they still persisting with Rasolea at 12? I thought he was making a pretty good fist of 13 last year but he sucked one further in!
C'mon the
don't think those positions are cased in cement!
Wasn't Ross H-P playing 8 last year? He going to be tall enough to play lock?
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
Very good team. Looking forward to filling the hill.
Excellent mix, in the true spirit of the N R C.
Cannot wait to watch from the hill
Looking forward to seeing some of these kids strut their stuff at the next level
Roll on NRC

How do they actually decide who is in the squad and who isn't though? Eg DHP is not there but Godwin is. Charles is not there but Faulkner is. They all played pretty much every game this year. Is it based on who needs a rest or who wants to play to get extra match payments? I know it is good to give the young guys a go but should players like Hodgo and Coleman still be playing in case the wallabies have a spate of injuries and need them?
I am sure that they can come in at fairly short notice. I imagine some of those guys have niggling injuries that they need to get right. Charles for example was in poor form this year compared to 2014. Maybe his body still isn't right from that injury with the Wallabies.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
The shortage of locks in the team worries me. Hell, we are always short of decent locks
I remember somewhere last year, there was something about the number of S15 contracted players being limited in the squad......after that point, it becomes a coaching decision which has a whole bunch of threads tied to it.
Is Rasolea there because he needs more work with the squad to get familiar with a position that Foley (obviously) thinks he's going to murder when he gets his head around it?
Is Godwin in the squad to protect him from other teams overusing him and burning him out before the season?
Is DHP considered a reasonably finished product or is he being sent east to gain some more experience in a different environment?
I'd have to say, if they can't name every Force player who isn't in line for the Wallabies, then it's going to be pretty pointless arguing the toss over who they do and don't pick. It would mean more if they had first dibs on everyone who plays for the Force and THEN didn't name a DHP!
C'mon the
