God please name the squad early so we can bicker about new shit
Forked the thread into a new one:
https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/topic/7401/all-blacks-loosie-selections-in-recent-years/1I could've gone back further but this post seemed like a good full stop on the conversation
Also, feel free to create more AB threads in the sport forum. It doesn't have to all go here. Threads about certain positions etc etc

The squad will be named only after we have discussed some new stuff like Mertz v Spencer and Marshall v Byron.

I remember the 2003 Wellington test he even slipped Caleb Ralph in instead of Jonah. Madness

Mitchell was the journeyman dirt tracker AB who decided to show everyone that a star team could outdo a team of superstars, and was aided and abetted by red n black homer Robbie Deans

14 Crusaders in one starting line up was just taking the absolute piss
Razor should go for 15 with Ardie and Sititi on the bench.

No provincial team was good enough to field that many. Not even the great Canty and Auckland teams of the 80s

So you know who to criticise when the AB squad is announced, the AB selection panel is now only three.
Ryan - tight five
Robertson - loose forwards
Hansen - backsThey will also be bringing in a lineout specialist, to add to the huge number of other people on the NZR payroll.

Just so they don’t forget about some of the lesser names at the Crusaders, I am acting in an advisory role.
