The province confirmed that second-row Joe McCarthy will increase his training programme this week as he recovers from a hamstring injury. He will be further assessed before a decision is made on his availability.

Jordan Larmour will also step up his training programme this week with further assessment to come at the end of the week. John McKee will continue his rehabilitation programme and will be reassessed later this week before a decision on his availability is made.

Hooker Lee Barron is not available this week as he manages a minor ankle injury sustained against Munster.

Stat chat: Clear favourite emerges as Sam Cane's All Blacks successor

It was definitely a high shot: “There was one last twist in the game when Sotutu hit Peter Lakai in the head with his shoulder”. It’s a fine line between a dominant hit and a red these days.

Agree, the trio needs to work. Skills sets where one of the trio is weaker can be made up from the other two, or even the other forwards (but that’s getting on a slippery slope - tight forwards need to be dominant in their core roles first).

The All Blacks will probably settle on two all rounders, at 7 and 8; and a bruiser who can jump at 6. We’ll see. You never know what Robertson has planned. I think last year he was a bit conservative and this year (which might be his last, if results are the same as last year) could be his last chance to stamp his mark on the team.

Black Ferns and All Blacks Sevens teams named to chase more Hong Kong history

You’re the plonker, I think, with that poor comment. I’m merely making the point that in Sevens, you need a balance of plodders & speedsters. Unfortunately the AB7s are unbalanced atm. About 6 or 7 of their dynamic playmakers went to XVs this year. Hence, I can’t see how results would change.

Agree re the BF7s. Superb, both on & off the field.

Sky Sports commentator on why Wallabies players are outplaying All Blacks counterparts

Taylah’s talking nonsense.

Kiwi teams haven’t played the Aussies much. Six games over the first six rounds. The Landers lost two, the Blues lost one. The Chiefs dealt to the Brumbies by 15pts & we thrashed both the Reds & the Force.

Hardly an indication of ABs being “outplayed by their counterparts”. Then again, it IS the Breakdown, where tongues are regularly in gear before brains are engaged.

Stat chat: Clear favourite emerges as Sam Cane's All Blacks successor

I could be wrong but I thought that was because of lazy tackling. This year I’m guessing he’s been asked to bring more of an edge to both sides of the ball, which exaggerates that weakness. It will, yeah, that’s my whole point. He shouldn’t need to cop that.

He’d for sure take the 6 jersey. Like we’ve already deduced, it doesn’t matter what number is on their jerseys these days, my whole point is it’s not a good trio.

'There's a lot of rugby knowledge': David Havili's reasoning behind in-form backline

Hop off it mate. WJ and Sevu contributing the least? What are you smoking????

WJ has been unbelievably good this season, easily the ABs first choice 15, and Sevu has just been playing out of his skin these last few seasons.

I’ll remind you that James O’Connor has also been outstanding off the bench, just watch his decision making under pressure and clutch kicking.
