Whitelock quitte la scène sur une ultime victoire

Drugs are for mugs but they work in competitive sports. Seemingly.

Joe Schmidt is an uncomplicated selector and will always pick footballers with either his first name or last first and then focus on star signs and other superstitious signs to fill out the rest of the squad. He's done that successfully for years with a full-time clairvoyant on speed dial.

So Joe definitely tours for Joe but it's definitely not going to be starting against England as being on a same first name basis with Joe only gets you so far.

Picking Tom Wright to be safe, quality fullback initially and likely that Joe starts Joe on the wing for now.

However Tom may want to consider changing his name as it's from fullback that Joe will be shifted too once he's had a few gallops.

After several games of club rugby, opposed training sessions and so on we'd be expecting to see Joseph in some capacity against Scotland and even possibly as early as Wales if he's training strongly.

If he nails his progression then he could even pinch a spot on the bench against Ireland as the Wallaby outside backs arent overly flash with Wright still making some errors and Andrew Kellaway the only outside back looking semi world class last night.

Having shifted over nice and young the skies the limit for Joe, shifting into midfield a possibility but unlikely to have the tactical nous to be a first five.

If you don't like to watch the forward packs maybe union isn't the sport for you? Not provoking... Just trying asking questions
