This is one bloodbath I won't be putting myself through.
Camping this weekend looking like a good option
So my wife has organised a family weekend away, I just found out there is no internet or mobile service......
I'm heading to Port Douglas with the wife sans kids. I probably won't watch either.
Doubt I'll miss much.

That's what she said.

I thought Folau Fakatava looked pretty good in the games he saw him play as the sub for Aaron Smith
Why was he not selected?@Frank said in Bledisloe Four: Brisbane, 7 November:
Folau Fakatava
i love Nuggie but im really hoping the Landers really lean into transitioning to Fakatava next year
Smith shouldn't play more than 60 mins except really big games
that being said im not even 100% we've re signed him

So how long was Kaino the newbie to god? Hopefully simlar with Akira!
He played in that Baabaas match in late 2004. In and (mostly) out of AB squads after that and heavily criticised.
He didn't nail an AB spot until 2008 at 25 years old
You could make comparisons to Ioane. Picked in a non Test AB side 3 years ago. He's now 25
Both Ioane and Frizell (26) are both at that stage of their careers

Amusingly was criticised for being a show pony and too loose.

Akira has the skills and physique to be our next Kaino, and it appears that he's had an attidtude adjustment - I really hope it all clicks

What sort of shape is he in nowadays ?
With both Ioanes starting the potential for dickheadishness is huge

@MN5 Foster says he's been impressed with his attitude - and he sorted his fitness, esp during lockdown. Nothing wrong with a bit of niggle, just don;t let it go to far. They just need to look at Coles did/does and dial it back 1 (Coles can do more cos he's senior, and front row

Just get ready for @Virgil to have a dig at your team and think of some witty comebacks.

It is clear to me both Ioane boys used lockdown and this season to get into shape, they both look as fit as they did in the Sevens days. There was a shot of Akira with top off in changing rooms and he looked very fit.

There’s a blocked article on there about Akira I wouldn’t mind reading if anyone is able to share?

Red card Scott Barrett is there along with Reece so there’s already huge dickheadishness.

The hate on here around TJ is stupid. Yes he had an off game and he was the first to admit that, but that doesn’t make him a bad player over night.

He's been off for 4 years, mate!
