Strong Cell C Sharks side… against a mix-n-match Toulon side, featuring many, many secondstringers.
OK, now for some Bru picks, Invitation reminders, sending some Applicants BruMail to have them register at the website as well otherwise they do not qualify for the Rugby-Talk pools…
OK, Bru picks made for the SIX Nations and for Tomorrow’s Sevens in Wellington, Invitation reminders sent, and BruMail sent to some stragglers.
… and I’ve now got an hour to do some Rugby News updates!
Like what I’ve seen of Toulon’s 11 David Smith, good strong fast winger, that being said have not seen him play this season so don’t know what form he is in.
Not a bad loose trio for Toulon – Masoe, Fernandez Lobbe and Vosloo with Armitage waiting on the bench.
Bryan Habana at 13 is an interesting selection albeit out of necessity will be keen to read how he does back in centre after all these years could he do a job there for the Boks covering outside centre and wing if need be from the bench. If am not mistaken think there is possibly more depth at wing than outside centre…
@ Bullscot:
Even sanchez is a fairly solid flyhalf though his defence is weak will be intersting how the sharks attacks his channel.
Thought the name Andy Cramond (Toulon bench) rang a bell. The young lock studied here and played for one of our local teams before joining up with Toulon this season thought it was an amazing jump for him, any of you watching please post any thoughts on his play, hopefully he could add to the depth of second rowers for Scotland in the future.
@ MacroBull:
