Sink or swim for Warrick Gelant

Also note that Earl is listed as 186 cm (6’ 1 1/2”) and 102 kg (16 stones even) on his club website. As he would be subject to a medical as per the terms of his contracted employment, his club metrics would be more accurate.

He’s also a better 7 than an 8, or perhaps that was your point?

Has to be on track for World Player of the Year.

Flank is the one era that is absolutely glocked with talent across the home nations. I’d say it’s also the one big area that likely decides the test series.

It’s brilliant to see Australia back in business but it’s more their off loading and running rugby. They don’t quite seem there yet with their structured game and breakdown work. Any of those Lions combinations should go well.

1.88 and 110kg is fine for #8 at age grade. Not at test level.

Or get their Russian donors to lend them a few quid?

One fine Sunday, I decided to have a shoot. The weather was perfect, and everything seemed to align just right for an outdoor photoshoot. As I set up, I couldn’t help but think of a recent conversation I had with a photographer friend of mine, Dave. He’s one of the best in the industry, a true professional with years of experience and an impressive portfolio. He’s always striving to improve his work and provide the best for his clients. Unfortunately, he recently went through a situation that left him shaken, but it ultimately turned into a valuable lesson. I thought it would be worth sharing with you all.Dave, being such a big name in photography, was always searching for ways to elevate his craft. He wanted only the best, whether it was the latest gear, the top locations, or, in this case, the finest photo editing services available. One day, he came across an ad for a photo editing service that promised premium quality with a lifetime subscription at a one-time fee of $7,500 NZD. The offer seemed too good to pass up for someone like Dave, who only wanted the best for his photos. The website was sleek, the testimonials were glowing, and the pricing was positioned as a premium, lifetime solution. It appeared to be the perfect match for a photographer of his caliber, so he decided to invest without hesitation.At first, the service seemed to live up to its promises. The edits were decent, and the turnaround times were reasonable. Dave was satisfied at least initially. But over time, things started to go wrong. The quality of the edits began to decline, and the company’s responsiveness grew slower and less reliable. When Dave reached out for updates, the answers were vague and unhelpful. Soon, communication stopped altogether, and the edits were no longer up to the high standards Dave was used to.It became clear that Dave had been scammed. Despite paying for a lifetime subscription, he was left with subpar work and no way to get in touch with the company. He had lost a significant amount of money and, more importantly, the trust he had placed in a service he thought would be the best.That’s when a fellow photographer recommended DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION. Initially, Dave was skeptical, unsure if anyone could help him recover the money he had lost. But after reaching out, he quickly realized that DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION was different. The team worked tirelessly to track down the scammers and recover $7,000 of his original $7,500 payment. It was a huge relief for Dave and restored some of his faith in the process.Now, Dave shares his story with other photographers in the industry, especially those who, like him, want only the best for their work. He advises them to be cautious with their investments and to always do thorough research before committing to anything. He also highly recommends DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION, knowing firsthand how valuable their expertise can be when things go wrong.So, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, remember that even the best can be caught off guard. But with the right support, like Dave experienced, you can turn things around and recover from what initially seems like an irreparable loss.

I can't see a world where Faz is taking a guy with one appearance off the bench over some phenomenal flankers with dozens of test appearances. Pollock is probably good enough and in another cycle may have been in with a realistic chance but doesn't feel likely to me. Same with Lawes, I'm sure he'd pull it out the bag given the opportunity but already too many good players to choose from without dipping into Pro D2. Flanker is just too competitive for these outside chancers to get a look in this time round. Although Lawes would provide a different style of flanker and cover lock.

Oh and I forgot to mention Jack Willis. How do you even pick 4 flankers from Curry, Curry, Earl, Morgan, Willis, JVDF? No way Pollock goes in the initial touring party.

I think we have become obsessed with replacing Kaino with someone exactly like him. Kaino was a perfect foil for the other loose forwards we had at the time. Based on the talent we have around at the moment those players could be made up in the aggregate by three players who are all exception all rounders - Lakai, Sititi, and Savea. Missing some height for sure but Sititi’s defensive work in the line out last year was phenomenal. He gets off the ground so quickly and was able to steal a couple of balls off the top of the springbok line out.

If our young locks coming through can actually stay fit long enough to get selected, it seems inevitable that Va’ai could end up in a hybrid 6/lock role.
