It's unfortunate for Byrne, who always gives his all and rarely lets the team down, but I can't see how he'll get a spot in the 17 when all are fit. His versatility might make him worthy of a bench spot, but I'd much rather have four forwards.

For now Agar made his selections, we won the game and the players under pressure really performed. It would be a terrible more by Agar to change a winning team to put in Hall or Motu if he is back.
