I'm sure you all know my opinion of Al Baxter by now however, the thing I find amazing is that you virtually never find a word of support for him anywhere!
Yet he is consistently getting selected as a starting Test Prop by John Connelly.
What is it that Knuckles sees that we mere mortals cannot?
This is the Prop that was singled out for those crucial penalties last Spring Tour, who cannot maintain a single decent engagement and who was patted on the head by a LOSING Italian Prop last weekend and did not respond.
The only time you see any passion from him is when he huffs and puffs at the National Anthem or complains to a Ref for penalizing him.
He consistently takes the easy option, usually to the detriment of the phase, in re-engaging rucks and mauls rather than finding the correct point of re-entry.
He brings nothing to the scrum.
He brings nothing to the lineout.
He brings nothing to the rucks.
He brings nothing to the mauls.
He brings nothing to the loose play.
He is a National disgrace in the tight and yet he is still picked.
Please, somebody...anybody....give me a good argument in defence of why he is even on this Tour, let alone allowed to continually be sent back into the firing line as such a weak link for opposition Coaches to focus on?
