they've overall been very poor, we need to thrash them (but we probably won't)They are fit though, ran Fiji ragged and nearly beat them

Eddies's angling for a r360 gig in the media atm. It would be very on-brand for him.The Japan games could be an option for him though. We need to win that game by a million so Jones fully fucks off.
Good we have BOK for Japan as we should be able to overcome his nonsense for that one. Brace increases banana peel factor for Italy game though. Other 3 should be good but TMO and ARs are having more impact than they should this year (both interventions and non-interventions).We escaped Piardi in the middle for any of our spring tour games - they gave the muppet NZ v England though.
V Japan - Ben O’keefe NZR
V England - Nika Amashukeli GRU
V Italy - Andrew Brace IRFU
V Ireland - Karl Dickson RFU
V France - Luke Pearce RFU
Counter to that is 5 games in 5 weeks. We definitely won't finish with the A-team on the field against France if we play them every week
I expect Italy is where will see the most unforced movement, but that will include having 1st choice players like Ikitau and Skelton come in to otherwise offset the the losses from rotating a few guys out.Counter to that is 5 games in 5 weeks.

I bet Dave Rennie wishes he could have rotated in (players like) Big Willie and Ikitau for his Italy testI expect Italy is where will see the most unforced movement,
Both of them started that test, but Dave Rennie could've managed his rest and rotation miles better for that tour, he really only has himself to blame.I bet Dave Rennie wishes he could have rotated in Big Willie and Ikitau for his Italy test
