Clarko talking to Cyril , Puops possibly missing out?

It's also totally out of context, there might be footage of Poppy running around with a big smile on his face 10 seconds later but we haven't seen it. Media beat up. Like I said earlier, there is no way they will be making decisions on team selection as early as Tuesday.

Quite agree. This thread had me a bit worried for Pops until I actually saw the footage.
Absolutely nothing in it to worry me, complete beat-up.

The way I saw it - both of them getting told what to do/their jobs.. Possibly what their roles will entail on the weekend.. Even at a stretch who they could be up against..

Yeah it looked like something that was relevant to both and Clarko recognised what he said was serious and tried to lighten them up at the end. Certainly no consoling going on. And Poppy didn't look devastated to me. That part is a major stretch.

Nor would they be communicated to players on the training track rather than behind closed doors

Can we close this now?

If Poppy does pull-out, we'll reopen.
