Disappointing to see Roebuck drop out, but was always going to be a tough battle between him and Sleightholme for the 23 shirt. I'd have still gone with Roebuck as I think he offers a different skillset to the other back three players, but Sleightholme will definitely brings some impact

Still seems weird they didn't involve Baxter vs Japan, baptism of fire for him now

This does strike me as odd given the magnitude of playing the AB's in NZ. Perfect chance to blood Baxter and Sleightholme 2 weeks ago, then involve them this week. Alas no and, as stated previously, a real baptism of fire. Baxter and Sleightholme are very good though don't get me wrong.

Rodd did get a little flack in the media for his Japan performance, but I felt he was solid and did his job. Roebuck played very well when he came on. Replacing both, as I say, seems odd.

Other headlines are Spencer replacing Randall and Cole swapping with Stuart. I would always prefer Cole to start personally.

Are two boys on their way home from the Scotland tour. To quote The Scotsman.

“ Joining Tuipulotu on the plane home will be six other players, Josh Bayliss, Alex Craig, Will Hurd, Arron Reed, Dylan Richardson and Gus Warr. ”

But both won two caps and scored two tries.

Creevy on the bench tomorrow for Argentina. Legend of the game, but I'd say his selection was more due to lack of other options than his form.

Has he signed to play for anyone next season??

He did, well done Argentina against a poor NZ.

If Montoya was fit he wouldn't have been in the 23 and his form for us wasn't great from January to the end of the season. I wasn't wrong with what I said.
