Some thoughts. Billy Harmon is just a huge force at the moment. I am surprised by the lack of recognition he is getting. They must be looking at him for the ABs surely!
Nah. They find reasons not to select 7s at the moment. It wouldn't surprise me if they only picked Dalton as a stopgap while Cane is out.

@crucial is this another whinge about Boshier not getting selected for the ABs? Taukieaho would be a better drum to beat, but even there it's clear why others are selected ahead of him.
Weber is the token average chiefs selection. Live with it.

They picked Kirifi. That tells you everything.

I don't actually see a place for Bosh in an ABs squad at the moment but then again I also don't see a spot for Kirifi.
What annoys me is when some players get given lists of work ons when they already top the stats and are hugely effective against their contemporaries from other countries yet others get selected on promise.
If I had to make a comparison I would do so with Matt Todd. Emergency starter but bloody handy to keep around for when injuries strike. -
@antipodean 2020 Kirifi was quite a lot better than the 2021 version. The early 2020 version of L Boshier was better, but the post-covid L Bosh? Not so sure.

That's the problem.
In 2021 both are a long way off Dalton and Billy.

Given the quality of 6s and 8s around, I'd say that Boshier is miles away, with Paps and Ardie and Cane, plus they like Kirifi (he's playing like shit, but they like him), and that's not even talking about Christie, Harmon, or even the use of Blackadder as a 7.
