Oops Jimmy McGarry as I’m sure he’s called in Scotland. Newish Grandad Mike would still be sheer class in the Otago Masters grades I imagine
Oh and wonder if Wood isn’t available, could Bazeley be tempted to mimic how the Nix play sans Zawada. That might surprise the Egyptians who I imagine, will be focusing their analysis on our one known player and big EPL centre forward.
So Baze maybe tempted to start Paulsen even if Crocs is available, with a play it out from the back, looking to methodically create some space approach, without any big striker to hoof it forward to and hold it up. The AWs actually looked reaaly good the last 30 mins against Ireland, when Wood came off and Singh was pulling the strings
Even if the Woodsman is available for this UAE tourney he won’t be that match fit. Hard to do much cardio when you are resting a dodgy hammy. Him walking around on one leg won’t help the AWs much. I think we saw that a bit last Oct & Nov, when he was battling niggles
