Woohoo Troy Dargan!
Can't play at this level, he struggled playing for Wenty and of course that's just my opinion.
That's a squad that can definitely win the tournament! I reckon we'll be favourites.
The search for a no.9 continues.
Happy to see Tuha and Nuikore there.
I don't think so we've got arguably the two most exciting nines player in the tournament in French and Radradra, we've taken both our top string halves and a powerful, mobile pack. If we're not favourites, we'll be good value.
