    Thought it was him or Ross, but expected they'd opt for experience. Maybe worried on Wobbly radar?

      Didn't they set the precedent when Charles Piatau was not selected when he announced that he was leaving to play overseas?

            Fuck yes Quinn Tupaea, what a surprise. Stoked for the lad. I think Aidan Ross is a notable omission.

              Was up for me

              As well as Cane, several other injured All Blacks weren’t considered for selection, including props Ofa Tuungafasi and Joe Moody and midfielder Jack Goodhue. Highlanders halfback Folau Fakatava was also not considered for selection due to injury

                        @machpants Thanks, I can see it now. Am in a state of shock after seeing the name F. Christie ( Ta$man). Hopefully this does not set the benchmark for future selections in the halfback position. It is almost as if Jason Holland was consulted on that particular selection.
