Looks like Sharpey still has a foot in the door.....
Sharpe for SA tour
Not exactly what we wanted but at least a step in the right direction for him to get his rightful place back and bring sanity to the ludicrous happengs of the past week
Simon Cron: “People talk about winning and losing all the time and they are critical, but there’s a process to get into and it’s the ability to stay present, do your job and execute skills under pressure.”
Time to step up Sharpie
Hopefully you're pushing some huge weight in the gym big Fella
deans wants you to rip the Bokke a new @sshole ( and so do we)

Excuse me?
Rookie lock Sitaleki Timani, who has signed a Japanese deal which precludes him from playing club football, is in Auckland and is expected to again be picked in the 26-man travel squad to Durban for development purposes.
Why exactly do we have him in the Squad?
He's either Test ready and better than at least two other proven Locks or he should be on his way to Japan to settle in!
This is no time to be developing Locks that are only around for a few weeks.
"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
I think he has only signed a one year deal in Japan and may be back part way through next year's Super XV. That would normally not be enough but then he plays for the Waratahs so there you go.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
So the guy has played 1 year each at the Force, Brumbies and Waratahs, missed out on Fiji test side and signed for a club side in Japan.Rookie lock Sitaleki Timani,
What does that tell you?
"The main difference between playing League and Union is that now I get my hangovers on Monday instead of Sunday - Tom David
The bloke is now qualified for the wallabies
The japanese contract isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Just ask Gits
The lad has a taste of the big time and the super big coin
Japan............phhht
He'll be a Tah and wallaby next year
and he's 'ard
steppin out
Locks don't develop until later.
He's a big unit and a mean muthafarker

Didn't Timani play at Wanneroo a few years back?
This close to RWC we need more than promise.
"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
Sharpe's experience in the international arena and specifically the RWC competition, along with his knowledge of the players around him in the scrum and lineouts should be enough to firmly cement him into the Wallabies side for the RWC. This on top of the respect from his Wallabies team mates, which helps create a stabilising presence for a young Wallabies team, both on and off the field.
Now if Sharpe had a shocking injury ridden Super Rugby season I would be able to grasp more fully why he is being used like a yoyo by Deans, but he had a great Super Rugby season playing all matches bar 1. So what is Deans doing switching around lock combinations leading into the RWC, now is not the time, you can do that in the next four years when Sharpe is moving into or has retired from the game.
....Oh look, there's this young Wykes bloke ready to be a Wallabies lock for the next international campaign.....
jmho.
Go The Force!
Sharpie is better against the ABs than Simmons was on Saturday. He gets over the gain line, he would have had their line-out under pressure and he would have got through more work too.
