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

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

@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

@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.

@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.

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

Pity ticks?

@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.

I think Boshier has to be considered and Jacobson...would they be worried about his injury tendencies?
I read that he wants to concentrate on 8 (rugypass article)-sounds like a good idea to me, far more 6 contenders but I'd guess he'd want to put on some more kilos (if he is only about 107kgs)..

[nostrildamus]

quick question, isn't one of the upcoming games a good idea to look at one of the younger locks not in serious/current AB contention?

[Yeetyaah]

Here's the Chiefs mans take incoming. There's no way McKenzie doesn't start.

We are short on halfbacks.

Nonu had plenty of credit in the bank. Clarke has a couple of bucks.

I think on the back of his performance vs the Highlanders he has to play. Although lester Fianganuku deserves a go as well.
