No .

We seem to have a good young team with terrific team spirit, why rock the boat.


It's never going to happen.

Not for me, thanks - he's made his bed and I can only see his inclusion now as being highly disruptive.

if he's producing the good better than anyone else he should be in - however the issue is there is a lot of pride at stake and for lot of people in positions of power they'd rather lose (actually I suspect they'd rather have the team humiliated) than lose face by accepeting that KP is worth a place. That being said he doesn't help himself much either

so true,

But now they leave out Luke Wright !

I can only think they are concerned a team of our best players would be too good for the opposition.
