All Blacks 2021

[Crucial]

@mackerzzzz No love for Jacobson? Using only one 7 when we need to get some backup going there?

I would be looking at giving Boshier a run off the bench at some time and Sotutu needs to have some competition to see if that gets him out of his below 2020 performances.

You know there’s massive potential for a shit season when you have the name Blackadder in the six jersey.

I’m assuming he’s too slow for blindside, too small for lock and prone to shin splints.

Are you sure? Jokes are funny

@mn5 if you watched a game now an again, you'd realise that statement is so 90s.

Its 2021 that's 30 years ago... most/some of us were not even born then

[taniwharugby]

@mackerzzzz point is, thats when @MN5 stopped watching rugby, which was when Ethans dad played for the AB's.

The initial gag got some upvotes, they can’t all have been accidental.

[family man]

@mackerzzzz I think on form David havili has to be in the squad and should probably play against Fiji

[Crucial]

Karl Tu'inukuafe
Codie Taylor
Nepo Laulala
Tupou Vai'i
Sam Whitelock 'C'
Shannon Frizzell
Dalton Papalii
Hoskins Sotutu
Aaron Smith
Richie Mounga
David Haviili
Anton Lenert-Brown
Sevu Reece
Will Jordan
Jordie Barrett

Dane Coles
Ofa Tuungafasi
Aidan Ross
Scott Barrett
Luke Jacobson
Brad Webber
Damian Mackenzie
Reiko Ioane

[Stargazer]

@crucial I think that comes very close, although I expect them to start S Barrett and name Vaa'i on the bench.

That 20 jersey is probably the hardest to pick. No. 8 is for lack of a better option.

[Bovidae]

@Crucial No Clarke due to sevens commitments in your team?

I think Reece should be involved in the sevens. He is made for that.

No Clarke because he is playing like a crippled donkey.

If there's one non Sevens player I'd like to see play the Olympics it is DMac.

Ma'a has entered the chat.

Bad super form only affects you so far at AB selection table. If they think they'll get the players to rise to the occasion, it'll be on.

Sotutu's form has been realllllly average this year, along with Akira. Even Ardie to 8 starts to look tempting
