All Blacks C team...

@machpants I think he is pointing out what he considers hyperbole with sparky saying those 'c team' players are as good as the current abs, nothing to do with next rung of players.

Yep, hyperbole to suggest Akira might be as good as Luke Whitelock!

I think a case could be made for Aumua over Harris, Jordan over NMS, Lam over NMS. I'm not saying I'm making that case, but the case could be made. And Bryn Hall over nobody.

If you're gonna make cases can you back them up?
Unless of course it's for MMS in which case a case can be made for any AB bar Owen Frank's having more toe than him out wide

@nepia The best explanation is that he falls foul of the NDP.
The NDP's must be the most fluid policy out there considering who and who doesn't fall foul of it.
Who knows who gets to blackball who.
But, as above. Give me a better explanation.

I specifically said cases can be made, but I wasn't making them. But you've just made one yourself for two out of the three examples I provided so clearly that's proof that cases can be made.

I have no case to argue any of this

I think its down to his defence. L Whitelock is almost inverse to Akira as a player and they clearly prefer Luke - poor ball runner but can hit hard in defence. Akira is a decent defender cos he is quick and strong but he doesnt put big hits on in defence and I dont think he ever will tbh - its either something you have or you dont.

Indeed.
@Machpants my C team above is better

I’d go as far to say that if the ref didn’t see it, it didnt really happen...

I think that's a bit of a myth on Luke ball running. He just doesn't run wide. Bloody effective on the undersea line and a deft distributor.

@kiwimurph it's pretty easy to stand out at the blues
