Think I was at that!
Good finish to the tour and no serious injuries. Feet up in preparation for a long old 2 years now.

Didn't see the game but just watched the highlights/tries. Both teams seem to have suspended tackling for the day. Argentina have shot themselves in the foot by refusing to play European based players.

So what’s our best 15
Dell
Mcinally
Berghan
Gg
BBT
Bradbury
Watson
Denton
Laidlaw
Russell
Kinghorn
Taylor
Jones
Maitland
Hogg
Not really sure, I think we have 2 teams one hyper mobile and one a little less mobile but with a bit more bulk.

Gray doesn’t get in your side? I’m not sure how Taylor has become our best 12 and we’re really persisting with Laidlaw who slows down the only style we can play?

Really looked a bit forward for Turb's first try? Ah well. I'll get over it.

Been one of jg biggest fans but he doesn’t impose himself as a doninant tackler. Needs to grow some aggression and then he could be one of the greats but right now Gilchrist and by both willing to mtfu so get in.
So many centers I opted for Taylor’s but I’d be happy with most of them.
Laidlaw in as I want a bit of control and I thing gh and ap both have it in them to just hit the self impose button.

I agree JG can improve but he should comfortably make out team. I'd also say he became a much more aggressive carrier this year.
Agree 12 is hard to pick just now. I'm really hoping one of Dunbar or Scott has a big year this year. Same with Taylor though I find it harder to categorize him as a player

Yeah, no Gray seems nuts to me. Really pleased to see Gilchrist back at the top of his game though.
I see Horne as the incumbent at 12. I don't think he's the answer there long-term but nobody else currently offers the consistency, organisation and work-rate there that he does.
Watching the game back now and Denton is making some real ground whilst quite heavily marked, but his handling errors really are glaring.
