Sigh.
Predictable. What we see in Traynor is totally beyond me. Why we persevere with those locks regardless of how they play is beyond me. Why we want Ford starting ahead of Toomua at 10 is beyond me.
I'm not particularly convinced by that Gloucester team though so we've got a decent shot at the game.

Rizzo was pretty smashed up front by the Wasps youngsters. (granted Baumann prob didn't help him) but he hardly put his hand up.

Think the school boy lock would have had a pretty big impact too.
That was my biggest worry with the Wasps team selection. Good performances ignored as "only the AW", bad ones noted down and held against players in future. Gigena's been a bit of a nothing in his few games but that's still better than Traynor, at least he's young enough to kick on. Hopefully reserve looshead won't be the decisive factor.
Quote:Yorkie
Really don't know what Harry Simmons and Harry Wells have to do to get a starting shirt.
Looks like Greg will be playing the full 80 minutes.
For me, start Toomua at 10 and bring Owen off the bench into the centres.
Quote:Tiggs
Not too sure why so many think that Toomua is the answer at FH ?
Presumably he isn't interested, or doesn't look good enough in training ?
Unless the coaches haven't even considered it ?
Quote:KevinR
At last, Tiggs - someone questioning the Toomua at 10 idea. He may have played there before, but I was never convinced when it was tried in Super Rugby. In addition to general play, his goal kicking has always been incredibly streaky, prone to disastrous off-days.

Perhaps favourites was the wrong word.
Perhaps I should have said his stubbornly, fixed in stone although it's not working, favoured selection.

Quote:Tiggs
Did he play 10 with an experienced kicker in the side ?
In Oz they often play the 10 as a second 12, and someone else kicks ?

As long as we are still in it at the hour mark we will be fine when their replacements come on, only heard of 2 of them and we gave them those 2 and Fraser isn't going to worry us is he?
Quote:Yorkie
Just mix up what ain't working ffs!

Any reason to be concerned about Veainu being pictured sat in the stands on the teams instagram feed? All the other pictures were of players on the pitch....
