@Tim I'll be surprised if foster drops Christie. Think Roigard is in a battle with Weber, probably come down to who doesn't fade.
Roigard is the bold choice, Webber has runs on the board in the black jersey

What advantage does Christie have over Weber?

The few times I really noticed Christie he looked competent but more recently he seemed to fall apart a little under stress, and Weber impresses me sometimes with his speed and pass.

Roigard looks very very good so far. I will watch his defense as someone claimed it's a weakness. But if he keeps on improving like he has this year or plays close to the last game he should go. Subject to defense and consistency

Mentions in press that Sevu Reece's knee injury may be a season ender. Not sure if that is just Super Season but that door in the outside back RWC squad has just opened a little.

Alphabetical?
I'd love for them to pull in a newbie (Roigard or Ratima) and then only take one of Weber or Christie (Weber is my choice presently)
Smith is #1 but hopefully he has.been keeping his powder dry with his lack of running, cos we need a 9 who is more than a pass or kick...

Combinations will come into it as well.
If Weber and DMac form a good book then that could be a factor.
Roigard has an advantage of a combo with Ardie. -

I wouldn't write off Fakatava yet. He's returning from a big injury and I expect him to get better and better during the season.
@Stargazer the biggest problem he has i think is hunt is making him (the whole backline) look average, fakatava did look more smith like against the force though, fast to the breakdown, even tried a dummy and tested the defence in close which was good

@Kiwiwomble Mikaele-Tu'u returning (hopefully soon) might make a big difference, too.

@Crucial roigard will not b at world cup
Far too early to say. Injuries happen. Fakatava is living proof of poorly timed broken-ness.
3 halfbacks and 5 genuine contenders IMO
Is the law variation about 9s not allowed past tunnel in play?

So far....you're a reliable contrary indicator.

No that's a SR thing
