That's like point guard tall at best.

Huh?

He's 6'4 FFS
105 kg. Too small

About 10kg heavier than Ardie Savea...

But more importantly the guy is in his breakout professional year. :roll:
The saffas will eat him for breakfast.

Savea wss quick and I doubt that he's that light.

Wouldn’t be the worst.
White/Donaldson was very good today.

The big hole is at imo. Unless Foketi can get back on the park and show some form, Joe must call up Samu (if he’s fit and playing).
Might be worth having Gordon at 12. Or Perese.
