yeah the boys could use his experience around the paddock. its a strange call to leave him out. but who do you drop? Would you play him at 8? move trobec to where?

^^^I'd have Reimer at 8 and Trobec on bench as he would be a great impact player who can slot in at lock, 6 or 8.
Anyway, I've said enough on the subject. My preference for one player does not mean that the boys selected didn't fight hard to win their places and each deserves to be there. Here's hoping the team can give the other associations a real scare. Good luck to all the boys and may they remain injury free in the lead up.

Weaknesses 3 reserve forwards from a team that has a f/a of 17-160 in 4 games. 2 reserve forwards from another has a f/a 0-104 in 4 games
How could Aloys beat trinity 52-0 and get no forwards in and Trinity 3. barker beat them 52-7 get 1 forward to their 3?? What happened to their firsts' player Sullivan? Aloys scrum is pretty dominant too.
How can selectors assess 50 players in 50 minute game and hope to get right though.
Cranbrook hooker should of been a chance as he has not lost a tighthead all year!! haha

Agree this subject has been done and dusted . How do we win with the squad selected ?

Who is the goal kicker or kickers in the squad
First phase
Allen Oxlade (6)
Backs are ok but irrelevant if the forwards are no good
CatchnPass
Vay Wilson (31)
Ilias and Westbury both kick. Not sure about others. Suspect Ilias will get the Tee

That kicking game in general is going to be important if our boys nan use their mobility
CatchnPass
Vay Wilson (31)
Agreed. You don't want to be playing GPS 5m out from your own goal line. And there are some speedsters in the team. If the kickers can catch the opposing back three napping, anything might happen.

I think a careful review of the Eddy Jones World Cup blueprint for Japan v SA would be a very worthwhile investment of time for the CAS coaches. Speed and mobility, high work rate, kick for territory but keep the ball in and with a good chase, enthusiasm at the breakdown. That's how the team might knock off bigger opposition.

Aloys must feel a bit hard done by. only 1 player selected and have been one of the form teams the last couple of years. Don't know how Trinity have got 6 players when they haven't won a game this year?
First phase
Allen Oxlade (6)
That is what I was alluding to in my previous post. Trinity in 2015 were only average with all their players excluding BHD who was playing up. I agree with the 3 backs in the team however. How does South get 13 of the 23 players in the team and two of the teams are 0 from 4??
The GPS has a far greater depth of players than the CAS and the admin in CAS is deluding themslves.
I love the underdog and hope CAS sticks it up GPS but you have to have the bullets in the gun for fsakes.
Do not talk game plans when you can't implement it.

Agree with you there. I think CAS have got a really talented backline but will be useless if the forwards can't secure enough ball. I think all of there backs have played Club Rugby so will have a lot of experience against some of the other sides.
ok - so lets drill down on the forwards - Which of these players have some club / rep expereince?
1. McGuiggan ( W )
2. Kennedy ( K )
3. Frear ( K )
4. Moretti ( W )
5. Flaherty ( B )
6. Murphy ( W )
7. Molloy ( W )
8. Trobec ( K )
