Finlay Christie is like a cockroach, can't be killed.
This is damning with faint praise, but his defence has been very good for some time. He's more of a safe pair of experience to close out a game.
I guess.
The selections are a bit wild. I do not understand not dropping people who are injured, to just name injury cover. I guess it is to preserve $$$ for incumbents, but just seems a bit 'in group'

How the fuck did combover win so many SR titles?
Four of the loose forwards are effectively carbon copies of each other.

It has to be, he does nothing for our attack.

Richie McCaw. Dan Carter.

It could be worse, I guess.
I'm relieved that Ethan Blackadder and David Havili aren't there.
Luke Jacobson is the new coaches' favourite and lives a charmed life for someone who is made of glass and hardly world class. God knows, what Dalton Papalii has done to piss them off?
Those injury cover selections are a bit baffling, aren't they? Tevito Mafileo would be no where that high on my prop depth chart and why isn't he named as a new cap?
Finley Christie's continued selection is troubling. Kyle Preston offers something different, I guess but Folau Fakatava and Xavier Roe are better players. Weird that Josh Lord (who is injured) gets picked ahead of Sam Darry who isn't.

Todd Blackadder's selection would have been a serious shock
