[QUOTE="Durbanite, post: 873201, member: 73156"] I agree on Flouw and JL has much value off the bench which couples nicely with Flo's inclusion. Cas HAS to be given leave, I think perhaps my assessment of him being so vague and unseen at 8 is a tad unfair, but compare him to Read or even Whiteley and it shows we are currently wanting at 8 imo. Still ticks me off that DdP didn't come off the bench, I bet he would be starting if he had. I hope that he gets a 40~min off the bench against the Aussies, at least we could see if he has anything to offer against NZ Sadly, I think you're spot on. At the very least Rhule should be benched, but I don't see a reason to include him in the squad at all. As I said in the other thread, I think we could start Sbu straight away and he'd perform but being uncapped and all that I can see why AC would hold off, it wouldn't matter if Combrinck was amongst these names! My thoughts too, strange to include him but not play him off the bench if AC is looking for new options at 9 though but Leyds has yet to run on so there's that. Nothing short of criminal, with all the calls for him to get game time it's a slap in the face for the national team, we could've weighed his performance in a controlled environment. I've softened my stance on Pollard and think he may have an important role I play, but I still think he needs all the time he can get at 10 as possible before being thrown into the lions cage, or whatever the kiwi version of that is, fruit basket? Aviary? :P [/QUOTE]
