Whaaat? Even with my Wasp-tinted glasses being very firmly placed aside, I would call that Flutey has been our best back. I have been very impressed by him.

If you have a thing for 12s who can't tackle or kick then, yeah. He's been great.
Has made a couple of decent breaks, but his distribution has been very ordinary and defensively has been a liability.
PhoenixFire
International Coach
Saying that he can't tackle or kick is pretty harsh. I'll give you that he isn't the best tackler or best tactical kicker, but he isn't by any means the worst.

We've seen precious little evidence of it so far, I have to say.
It's easy to be wise after the event, obviously, but I think we've tried to make too many changes all at once. The back line is crying out for a grizzled old head to call the shots.
The trouble is with Catt retired and Wilko broken we aren't exactly overburdened with options.

Wilko has said basically that he wants to play the best rugby he possibly can. Whether that is for England or Newcastle, it doesn't matter, so he isn't ruled out for the time being.

Dislocated knee would rather suggest otherwise, sadly.

That must be the most painful thing that doesn't involve a testicle or losing to Australia?

Tait & Abendanon(andon) are both injured or I suspect either would've started at full-back ahead of Armitage. Geraghty was over-looked in favour of Flutey, sadly.What hapenned to the Taits and the Gerhartys and the Abendanons of this world?
Did it against Gloucester on 30 Sept, so pushing two months now.
Since when? Feel so bad for him.

**** me, that's silly money. Especially in light of the western world's financial system imploding.
Not looking forward to today at all, meanwhile. Could get ugly.

& the first was, ftr...?Really great to see a school-mate of mine in the NZ Sevens squad, I reckon he'll be the second All Black we've ever produced.

Was going to make a comeback for the Highlanders or Otago next season I think, but has picked up an injury. Not sure on the latest.
Always preferred him to Merhts too.

Shame Wales Aus is on the same time, at least that game could be competitive.Not looking forward to today at all, meanwhile. Could get ugly.
