World Cup Squad Preview: Forwards
As Rory has chosen to focus on the backs he has left me with the slightly easier task of looking at the forwards. The reason this is easier is because Andy Robinson has a pretty samey starting pack and, barring injury, I can’t imagine it will change too much for the first game in the […]
