Dear oh dear......what is Brian up to?

Ben ****ing Jones now? I can't buy it.

[Chris]

Yeaah.. almost has it right, but Mose in, Jones / Paea out imo.

[Guest]

Why is Anasta back at lock?

[Guest]

Gotta be your common mind games smoke screen!

Surely the Smiling Assassin is fit....Jones and Paea? We'll get killed.

That's it. Would be silly to bring in either of those guys at this point.

WTF has JAubs done wrong to not even get considered FFS?
As for Ben Jones, pfft, I'm as mad seeing his name on that list as I would Kouparitsas' name. If I have to choose out of those two, it would be Lopini and the only reason I can think of that Mose isn't in the frame is because of his youth.

The only reason Jones could be there is that he could cover a number of positions if injury result - hooker, halves, centre......

The only problem is he plays all positions equally poorly.

Surely if either of the halves got injured, Anasta would more to 5/8. Surely if a centre got injured, Maubs would move to centre. If a wing or fullback got injured, Maubs to centre, Linnet to wing.

The only injury I can't see us covering would be Friend. And if it is just a back hooker we need, Jaubs is the best option!

[Vasco]

Tom Symonds would also be an option.

Can cover back row, centre, five eighth and probably dummy half if desperate.

A man after my own heart, heaven bless ya FF, you speak volumes of good sense.

Jaubs has to be a better option than Ben ****ing Jones. If Mose is fit I can't see how he is not being considered.

[TheLoneRooster]

They're at full strength, this is going to be tough.

[Guest]

No surprises here.

Campbell back on deck as expected. He will add to their attack. If we have a good chase, he is always a chance to lose plenty of ground on kick returns because of his lightweight frame (once we catch him).
