yeah thats what I meant, last time they played a loosie who can fill in at lock play at lock...given mostly they fill in in the last 20.

[Magpie_in_aus]

Reminds me of a time they played a fullback at center....

At least they won't spend the week partying up, and not taking it seriously, because it's a new location and the local team just won the World Series...

...apart from Jordie, obviously!

First sober person to have 5am Maccas. He's a pioneer.

I guess in a roundabout way I'm pointing out that the next cabs off the rank are kinda poor after Whitelock and Retallick.

@mn5 never really let the ABs down though has he.

BBBR, Whitelock................> Barrett, Romano, Tuipulotu, Franklin, Lousi...

[Samurai Jack]

Romano has been a good All Black.

Scott Robertson just said on Radio Sport that Sam Whitelock was very close to playing last night and he thought Whitelock would be available to play the first test (obviously, following the all clear from the ABs medical staff).

Still a load of shit. He may not be Whitelock or BBBR but he has solidly been 3rd or 4th behind those guys for a bloody long time and has earnt that spot.

[Stargazer]

@pukunui And, last year, he was also the "brains" behind some flashy, successful moves from the line-out IIRC. Same for the Crusaders this season. He adds something besides just playing.

Fair enough but I'm not the first on here to question his ability and selection although as I alluded to the excellence of BR and SW means the next guy picked is always gonna suffer in comparison.
