    It seems like the mainstream NZ Rugby media have been briefed that there will be more changes than a toddler's mood in an afternoon.

        In days gone by ah kuoi would be a solid Super Rugby cult hero.
        The fact he's in line for a test is a sign of where we're at.

          @Landers92 No sneaky preview of the forwards yet?

          No sorry.

          I see the backline has made it to Facebook on a fan page so I might have to tone it back or may not find out at all moving forward if word gets back.

          I know I sound like a hypocrite and understand it’s a forum and we all love to share the inside word but if anyone is sharing it, please make sure it isn’t being sent to a social media fan page or to someone you think could send it to something like that.

          It may not have been from anyone on here but I just wanted to comment anyway on the off chance that it was. Want to be able to keep the sauce coming if possible and would hate to not be able to share it due to further leaks like that. Again, I know it sounds hypocritical but I hope you all understand where I’m coming from.

          Appreciate the understanding. Cheers.

            @booboo I am well aware of that. Hence why I said it may not be someone who’s actually on here and just commented on the off chance it was. Could be a non registered person just browsing. Either way, you get the point.

              Yeah, totally.

              Maybe you've got to scale back to being enigmatic and darkly hinting at "rumours" ... makes no difference in the end, the team is the team even if we want to know it earlier.

                  Forget about who may have shared it on social media, the biggest mystery is have lashes and Landers92 ever been seen in the same room together……

                              Big test for Finau. Let's see if he is the goods.

                              Can some nerd tell me out of interest the last time an AB match day squad had zero Barretts in it ?

                                  We know that PT won't last the game so the plan will be for Finau to move to lock and for Papali'i to cover Finau if he gets injured.

                                          Personally I would have gone with Lio Willie over Kirifi. Lio Willie has been accurate and performed his core role although a bit quite.
