I know they have protocols and will have access to good medical advice, but I'd of been tempted to give Crotty and Cane the rest of TRC off.
Respectfully, this is classic Fern/Internet/Media naval gazing. I'm not having a pop at you - aimless speculation is what we're here for - but I'm OK with their call.
it's kind of: I know they have all the medical records and specialists giving us advice, but I think they are WRONG! It's a small step to THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU VACCINATE! WAKE UP SHEEPLE! YOUR GOVERNMENT IS LYING TO YOU!
There's a joke about boats but I can't think of it ...

@nepia barely performing as opposed to screaming pick me are quite opposite ends of the spectrum I'd say.
Slightly different note, as Harris can't throw in, he can just take NMS spot on the wing.

Touching on that.....I genuinely think NMS has had a more dramatic fall than Rokokoko/Cullen.....thoughts on this? They went from being freaks to being merely ok. He's taken a much bigger tumble from a lower height.

... and managed to get picked for the ABs! Mind you, so did Savea for a logn time, and he'd be up there in terms of loss of form.

How many games has he actually played in the last 3 years? I would put this down to injuries wrecking a career rather than a form falling off a cliff.

Interestingly, given the discussion?bitch fest below, i just got an email from Rugby News (fuck knows why, i haven't had a subscription in 10 years?) and they are talking about a
Drederick TatumIan Jones article about the 5 players we need fit for the World Cup next year.One of the first names that popped in to my head was Taylor, and given the preview, he appears to be one of them.
If it was my article

Taylor
A Smith
Cane/WhitelockThey are the only guys i can think of that don't really have adequate replacements

He also had one of the most meteoric rises too. He had one awesome Super campaign that elevated him into the ABs. I actually think that Andre Taylor was better in his break out Super season and it didn't carry him into the ABs.

@kiwimurph said in All Blacks v Springboks:
@nepia disagree. Taylor was a hungus. NMS was something special in 2015.
I liked Taylor but he didn’t have that skill execution that NMS has shown. Taylor and Masaga were awesome at Super level but they rarely passed the nut.

I'll have to be very specific with my language next time.
Agreed on Harris, he's quite a good wing for the Chiefs.

@nepia Yes, ex CBHS captain.
Agree, there is the opportunity to find a good young 3rd hooker.

fuck, is it what! And we have so little to talk about these days. And we've chased all the international posters off, so we sort of have to sit around taking cheap pot-shots at each other.
