I hope we can somehow keep Tommy Reffell, the guy is seriously good.

He did really impress me today. When he's accompanied by Wiese and Liebenberg it makes a very capable back row.

Agree... Can we throw money at Edinburgh for De Bruin back?
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

He's still around but with Cole and Heyes he's not going to get a look in. Leatigaga is such a prime impact player if Heyes is with England then that spot is sewn up. Hopefully we see Hurd during the PRC games.

Not so much impact today.
I do think it's a great impact player for Loosehead though.

Ladygaga is a liability scrummaging at TH though. I wouldn’t be at ease if Cole was injured next game and England kept Heyes. That was more my point

Yeah it would be an uncomfortable game if we had no Cole and no Heyes. Particularly if that game meant no Genge at loosehead because Genge and Montoya and then Hurd I'd think would manage. Whitcombe, Montoya and Hurd would be more of a challenge though wasn't it Whitcombe, Dolly, Hurd that did a job Vs Connaught last season?

People a bit quick to jump on Nephi, I think. He's always been a very useful option for us.

As much as I love Tommy, our backrow is good enough to handle it if he did try to pursue to Welsh dream. Certainly couldn't blame him for trying with Pivac playing hardball.

I think he’s a good option would keep him as 2nd choice Lh 100%

But I’ve thought for sometime that his th was a lot weaker

I wouldn't be surprised to see Leatigaga off in the summer, just saying...

I wonder if at some point a club will challenge the WRU in court over that rule
