Not sure. Fraser has been effectively frozen out of the squad hasn’t he? And Ritchie appears to be a member of the coaching staff at this point. I’d prefer to play Frser, but have the sense that Ritchie has some Lascelles-like value.
No mention of host cities. We’ve been really lucky getting games in the San Francisco Bay Area. Fingers crossed.
Perhaps they’ll pick host cities that are missing out on the World Cup.
