I’ve left out Strachan because we already have three rucks.
Boyse has seniority over Darby but definitely not form, and this squad has lots of tall forward options (including oldLAV and theLang) but not so many tall defenders.
Isn’t it 4 maybe 5 come out of that team? I see the whole bench there (7 players)
Even so, if the only blokes on our list not playing this week are frang, gleek and trav then we’re in a pretty good place even if there was interrupted build up
We need to follow Hepp’s lead and call Francis “Azza”; otherwise we’ll just be tempted into immature jokes like -this is the first time I haven’t enjoyed the feeling of no franga
