I’m a lot more comfortable with Fekitoa playing at 2nd-five & with Conrad Smith there to guide him I’m expecting him to go very well.
This crap where a players partner is about to have a baby & that player has to leave the squad at the ‘ last minute ‘ is getting really annoying !!! { Cole’s been the latest one } just disrupts the team, if a player isn’t sure whether they’ll be able to play or not they should just pull out of the squad for a certain period, 10.30 Sunday morning is a good time to watch the test.
