Ponga is a real talent. Some of the stuff he was doing at the 9s tournament at the start of this year was crazy.

Correct. The kid is a freak and will be a very special player if his development carries on the way it is.

Thought Brandon Smith was a Kiwi, not that it makes much difference to Australia. I had a dig at Scott Sattler on Twitter. He was answering a Stev Mascord tweet asking what changes would people like to see for next world cup. He had the nerve to say English video refs!!!

Ah, you are correct! He is. I hadn't realized he was named in the Kiwi squad for the ANZAC Test. So NZ will have a great hooker for a while then haha. Either way the rest of the players mentioned will be devastating.

Doesn't really matter about blooding youngsters. Pick players that are in form. If the youngsters are good enough then they'll be there down the line anyway.

That's fair enough I guess. Most youngsters get their chance when injury strikes, so they get 'eased' in that way to some extent. I think it's always a good idea to utilise the squad though and I'm not big fan of playing people who are carrying injuries, though we seem to get so many it's difficult not to at times.
