Dear Rugby Social Media Managers,
Nobody likes squads listed alphabetically.
It won't help new fans learn player names or understand positions and experienced fans get fed up with the mental gymnastics needed to figure out the positional balance of a squad.
Thanks.

792 kicks in 18 games
Most frequently used kick? Yes, that's right, the box-kick: 290 (37%)
But there's one huge surprise, marking perhaps a possible shift in exit strategy. The @springboks.bsky.social haven't contributed much. #Georgia, however

That test match just reminds me on why I like this weird sport I follow and sometimes write about.
Bonkers, but it would take me a few days to pick my player of the match! #FRAvNZL #AutumnNationsSeries
