Ian PaytenHOST
He got a good review.
Ian PaytenHOST
Ben Donaldson also coming back from injury.
Ian PaytenHOST
So that position is still in a state of flux, isn't it? Do they stick with Declan Meredith? Do they just go back to Carter Gordon? Does Ben Donaldson come back in and reclaim the spot that he had before he was injured? You know what I mean? Sam Walker could join the second half of the tour after the Rugby
Michael AtkinsonHOST
League World Cup final.
Michael AtkinsonHOST
I'm stirring, everyone.
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
I mean, going over old ground, but Carter Gordon, and let's not forget last November, he couldn't kick out of his hands because there was a calf strain.
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
So then Ben Donaldson's obviously carrying a leg injury.
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
So Declan Meredith, you know, he could be the last man standing.
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
So there is a more settled element to it.
13 MINS LATER
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
And, you know, now we're still really not settled whatsoever at 10.
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
Because Carter Gordon, I mean, there's going to need to be a serious element of cotton wool.
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
Would you trust him to come into a test? Then Ben Donaldson, I know it was a minor strain on his kicking leg.
Jonathan DrennanGUEST
They probably took the more sensible option.
Ofa HelotuHOST
Dongho from Fractured Fibula, which is pretty crazy.
Ofa HelotuHOST
Ben Donaldson, Len Ikitao, and Paisabi.
Ofa HelotuHOST
Passabi's suspension is finished as well.
Ofa HelotuHOST
So yeah, they've got a lot to improve.
Mat RogersHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Mat RogersHOST
We've gone through Carter Gordon, Ben Donaldson, Declan Meredith and McLaughlin Phillips in the 10 jersey.
Mat RogersHOST
That 10 jersey, that's your number seven in the league.
Mat RogersHOST
Yeah.

Mark NawaqanitawaseGUEST

James RochfordHOST
So Ben Donaldson.
James RochfordHOST
Josh Canham and Harry Potter.
James RochfordHOST
You had Dono spinning into a bucket in front of 200 people.
George GreganHOST
And again, I think building depth, What I'd say about Australia too, Declan played on the weekend.
George GreganHOST
There's been some injuries with Carter Gordon, Ben Donaldson.
George GreganHOST
So some of those changes were forced, but it gives them experience.
George GreganHOST
But it's the learnings.
Sam BruceHOST
I know you asked Leskis a couple of times around the old guard of Bernard Foley, uh, Kirtley Beal and James O'Connor and, and these guys who are, you know, on the rest up at the moment.
Sam BruceHOST
Um, why had they not been considered again, given, uh, Harry McLaughlin Phillips had to come in following Ben Donaldson's injury.
Sam BruceHOST
So, look, I think Declan will absolutely go on the spring tour.
Sam BruceHOST
Whether things change in the next year, depending on how Foley and O'Connor come back into Super Rugby once more, that could change.
Christy DoranHOST
Like you think about guys like Matt Guido, struggled on test match debut, but it's about how can they take those lessons and then harness it all and be better for it ultimately going down.
Sam BruceHOST
And proving that he's actually durable too, which is an issue for our 10s across the board.
Sam BruceHOST
I know it was only a slight groin injury for Ben Donaldson.
Sam BruceHOST
Leskis saying he could play this week, no doubt at all.
