Be interesting to see if there are any/many changes from the Japan game
He won 3 scrum penalties and gave away 1 (and a freekick), but agree he didn't look comfortable or as dominant as you'd want - gave away two stupid penalties away from the scrum early on as wellI thought Rodd came under some pressure on what was a rubbish Japanese pack so really don't think he deserves a start vs New Zealand
I dunno, same difference really? Maybe Rodd would benefit from seeing how the ref and oppo are scrumming before coming on, if memory serves his earlier scrums weren't great but he figured it outThe Japan game it was Rodd and Cole who started, with Marler and Stuart coming off the bench, correct? Would it make sense to start Marler and Stuart with Rodd and Cole coming off the bench? Same combos just a different order?
I'm not sure that anyone actually knows. At a guess it may be because the backs are seen as more glamorous, more exciting, the stars of the team.why are teams named in the that order rather than just 1-23 or even 15-1 16-23 again?
we've also had some discussion about why so early, especially when the AB's have said they wont be doing theres until thursday, i guess is stops any speculationHappy with that team.
Hold up, it's only Tuesday. What is this trickery?
