    Even though I'm not a huge fan, I think the unluckiest player is Bryn Hall. Starts for the Crusaders but can't make the NI squad.

      @Duluth

      He made two tackles on the weekend (no misses), 9 with 3 misses against the Saders, and 3 made one missed against the blues. That’s his last three games.

      So, he’s probably got a few places to work on and might be pretty tired. I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t wear black at some stage.

        Shocking call to include TTT as someone is not doing their job - if he’s in the AB frame, he has to see more time at the Chiefs.

              I think it’s the idiots in Chiefs polo shirts, most of whom we won’t see next year.

                  DMac fucking lucky that every other starting fullback is needed somewhere else. If the 'landers #8 is a victim of the format, DMac is the big winner.

                    He only seems to have a tidy pass and hasn't done much else.

                      Yup he's basically where Akira was a few years ago

                        Regarding the locks, at least Plumtree didn't select Blackwell.

                          Selby-Ricket got hammered by the Blues pack in contact. Parkinson stood up better.

                          MMT probably too raw at the moment. Plenty of talent, needs to have more impact on defence.

                          Otere Black, Bryn Hall, and Sam Nock can all feel unlucky. One first five for North is pretty weird. Lack of decent fullback options too.

                          Glad to see Hodgman get some recognition, even if he should be playing for North!

                          Tupou Vaa’i is a shocker! Hasn't shown anything this year. GCT and Goodhue will be pissed. Pierce has a much better frame for test rugby. At least Scrafton got in. TTT is fucking lucky.

                            @Tim As has been mentioned Mitch Hunt is in the NI squad too.

                            Parkinson must be injured.

                              I don't have a problem with Vaa'i getting picked - he's a youngster who has good size who I thought held up bloody well in a very tough situation for his rookie year. They obviously see some potential there.

                                    criteria that sees BB and Jordie playing for different islands is flawed IMO.

                                        @Kiwiwomble concept is great, but thier criteria is such they that they are better to have gone down the possible/probable route and picked the best 50, especially if this is looking likely the highest level of rugby we see this year!
