1. Cronin
2. Dolly

5. Williams
6. Liebenberg
7. Ilione
8. Rogerson
9. Powell
10. Shillcock
11. OHC
12. Kelly
13. Cokanasiga
14. Bassett
15. Brown

16. Clare
17. Whitcombe
18. Hurd
19. Carnduff
20. Hatherell
21. Whiteley
22. Atkinson
23. Porter

Would be tempted to go with Shillcock @15, Atkinson @10 and have Simmons on the bench
Will Cronin be fit by then? Has anyone heard what his injury is and the severity?

Personally with his injury history I'm concerned.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

If he isn’t then someone needs to be contacting Sutherland agent as they were saying again yesterday that he doesn’t have a club after RWC

It was a clever bit of play as if it had stopped again it wasn’t going to get stuck in. No doubt that Dolly was telling Whitely to leave well alone

Who says we haven't? Might be we've had a chat and he isn't interested in what we can offer at this point. He might have some offers he's not keen on at the minute and is hoping to drum up some more interest during the tournament.

The way I’ve heard it described it that there is nothing on the table at present. That could be journalistic licence or Sutherland keeping his cards to his chest. Certainly during the last game it was stated he was without employment after the RWC.

It could be that any post RWC announcements are made after their country has been eliminated

If you were his agent, at this point in time, you'd not want to disclose anything. You'd want it being talked about that he was available. The agent be holding out to see who gets injured at the world cup. A big name injury could see a medical joker contract over in France. Sutherland has just turned 31 he will want to be maximising his earnings.
