I'd love to see BBBR step up. For some reason I think he'd make a great captain but can understand that NZRU would have to pull a pretty huge deal to stop him having at least a sabbatical earner.

BBBR is even reluctant to captain the Chiefs. He's done it once as a late replacement. Cooper may revert back to him next year, which is probably not a bad idea looking at the bigger picture.

Some guys are not captain material

Now that Foster is the coach, you guys are not picking anywhere near enough undeserved Waikato players in your teams...

Welcome to my last 10 years of AB support.

Actually, now you mention it, Mitch Jacobson might get to be an AB after all!

[Bovidae]

@mariner4life At least he'd cull BOP deadweights like Harris.

Not judging on previous history, he wouldn't.

De Malmanche was an excellent hooker apart from his truly terrible line-out throwing. Foster kept him as starter, naturally.

@crucial That's why I referred to (not) having an AB dad. Having ABs in your family seems to get you further ...

Nepotism aside, Devan Flanders is not a name you’d give the hero in a cool movie.

@mn5 My sauces tell me that DMac pulls with a hamstring injury so Willl Jordan gets his Test Debut.

Special sauces?

It is like reading tea leaves I guess. Soothsayers used to read entrails so why not a sauce?

@Snowy @MN5
A sauce is a well known TSF point, place or person from which information originates. From the days of @BartMan
.

Yes, aware of it, but I struggle to get much information from condiments as a general rule.

Only a general rule. That's why they're special.

@cgrant Your love fair with Ofa T at LHP is ridiculous, he is not a Test standard LHP!! THP definitely.

[cgrant]

Remember this is a squad for 2020 so he's got plenty of time to become a very good LHP. The other options could be Joe Moody (but a bit too old by 2020 or will be earning money in the NH), Big Karl T, Aidan Ross and Hodgman. Surely a bit too early for Tamati Williams. Who do you see there ?

[Dice]

@cgrant Ofa will be playing most of, if not all his rugby at Super level at tighthead, then he'll suddenly be the starting loosehead for the All Blacks?
