    According to unofficial stats Elsom is still one of the best three back rowers in the super14, the Other two are believe it or not.. Hoiles and Spies

    HOWEVER!.. looking at some of the most important stats for a back rower pilfers and turnovers forced ....

    Hoiles pilfers: 1 turnovers: 0
    Elsom pilfers: 0 turnovers: 1
    Pocock pilfers: 2 turnovers: 3
    Higgenbotham pilfers: 0 turnovers: 1
    Hodgson pilfers:2 turnovers: 1
    Brown pilfers:0 turnovers:0

    its obvious that some stats are not being counted correctly so ... as you were

    I don't think Deans is likely to play Pocock and Hodgson in the starting XV. It's not really his style. The most likely at the moment is Pocock, Higginbotham and Elsom with Hodgson on the bench.

    Yeah against the Baa Baa's that team is ok. Against the Springboks no way, to small and the Springboks will kick for touch all night long and steal our line out feeds with some of their very tall timber.

    Hodgson will be on the bench to replace Pocock or for some games vice versa.

    Hodgson was available on the Spring Tour. He played in both the midweek games.
