[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 950367, member: 43875"] yeah I'd like to see Bridge get a run I think right now he's near top of the list for my picks for that vacant position at 14 he has an element of Ben Smith about him that I like, not massive but ha a broad skillset and a deceptive attacking game. And yeah Papalii is another guy who needs a run he's kinda been under the radar a bit but his stats in super rugby were great, Papalii and jacobson can play 7 in a pinch we dont always need two openisides in the 23 its been pretty common recently having Savea and Cane does often play himself to a standstill in tough physical battles. With such limited time did Fifita play himself out of contention last weekend? I think pretty much not only because of his performance but also his super rugby stats are not sharp, his tackling % is down compared to others and he gives away too many turnovers and penalties. Still likely to get another run at some point though. Also we still dont know if Squire is going to make himself available for the WC squad. I've liked Jordie for that 14 spot his height is a massive boon but he needs to up his game. [/QUOTE]
