Title: RWC must surely be raised by God Ritchie next year
Post by: Crusader on August 24, 2010, 08:56:36 am
Now we have a starting XV that are just absoultly awesome, it is time to blood in the backups. Spend the rest of the year playing the second stringers to get them some experience. Past World Cups have proven we have lost valuable experience in key positions due to injuries and really paid the price. Once we have a complete team of 30 that have great experience, we will be unstoppable.

Interesting team. It looks like the selectors a cementing their WC squad. My only concern is the Hooker position. Two there that haven't played much rugby due to injury and the third is very green at test level. Looking forward to the NH tour.
