Desi,

Go back to www.stuff.co.nz and the usual clicking and you'll see the test squad there.

Don't know how the hell Gear missed out, or how the hell Howlett made it in, as if you were going for form players it would have to be Gear & Sivivatu....I think Nonu will be an impact player for this season anyway....the selectors are keeping Lauaki honest (keeping weight off- NO TARO) by keeping him training with the squad even though he's not named, but it's all there to read.

Your dead right. the BoP coach started subbing his players far too early particularly hooker-throw in, and thats where the Poms ran away with it, possession from the lineout.

Going to be interesting to see how Warren Gatland handles Waikato, and don't forget he's also technical adviser to the Chiefs next season, who I would suggest at this stage will go all the way to the play-offs. I believe Kellaher's off back to Chch and the Crusaders.

Don't share your lack-of-faith in Graham Henry....he'll do the business ole mate, and now that Aussie has it's extra team in the S14 I think you'll see a general falling-off of form in their other franchises....this may effect the SA franchises as well.

Beer O'clock.
