If the Bledisloe goes ahead it will basically be a full year since either team has played.
Both teams with new coaches.
Both teams with presumably a decent camp to prepare.
Sounds fun.
Good advertising opportunity too. If you were born the last time Australia held the Bledisloe, you're eligible to drink and vote this year!
Nooooooooo advertising! Last thing I want to see are are a bunch of sheep doing a haka....

I just want to see the best players play in the rep teams with no bias
I agree that's an ideal that should be aimed for
In reality that's impossible.
But yes I'd hope there was no conscious bias from a selector and hopefully robust arguments would minimise unconscious bias. It's always going to be there though.
So I have your vote for selector then? Sign me up.
There are a couple of others of my ilk on here too. None of them are from Canterbury (Yes I know what I just did).

@Snowy it's called unconscious bias, our media tall about it all the time.
But I agree with you, there are some of us that can see past provincial bias

Better not perfect
Nothing in rugby is perfect, the laws, the refs, the teams. I just want to see the best players play in the rep teams with no bias.
Agree.
Moody, Taylor, Alaalatoa, Whitelock, S.Barrett...

Yes I know about unconscious bias, but it can be overcome with rational thought. You're not one of the people I would have picked to see past provincial bias...just saying.

Should start calling this place The Green Fern given how much recycling there is of jokes.
These jokes don’t write themselves. Carefully crafted after many years of testing. You know “experience over form”

Sometimes I think @KiwiMurph is actually Oscar the grouch. Then I just remember he's been a blues fan the last 15 or so years.
