@higgins should not even be in the team in my book ..personally he’s a last man standing selection …
@steven-harris Agreed. Surely the Going family must have someone available that could do a decent job?
-
The Mako providing just short of one-fifth of the team.
Who would have foreseen that in 2005?!!!
(Not Steve Tew).

Finlay Christie will be the next subject of bitter press attacks from up north in their next tirade on poaching. I appeal to the NZRFU to rescind that particular selection to appease those upset about blatant poaching.

I'm worried he'll get capped.
Why in a team stacked with blindside flankers isn't Big Red selected?
How is it we have so few fit props? The two competent ones make Owen look like a young Jones.

This is pretty cool:

That’s a bog average looking All Blacks squad.
Forwards are actually not too bad, but that backline… 🤮
Midfield - let’s hope Havili and Ioane don’t get hurt.
3 fullbacks and only 2 wingers selected, which means we’ll probably see the worlds slowest winger locked into 14 for the season again.
Where are the strike weapons?

@higgins bring back Sid…!, I reckon if Fakatava had not been injured , there’s your number 2 moving forward under A Smith right there

Feel sorry for Faingaanuku Ross and Robinson. Felt all 3 earned it. Pressure will be on Ennor Bridge Lomax De Groot Akira and Blackadder to deliver.

I'd say the pressure should also be on all the loosies to perform. Super form does not equal test form. Aside from Ardie none are established test players.

@chris would love to see Sam Nock head to the crusaders , he would thrive in the environment.., has a much faster pass than either Bryn or Mitchell .Mounga won’t know what to do , he’ll have so much time ..

Would like to see that myself. He is a lot like Smith if you really look at his game.Kicks well great pass and his running game is there he just needs the chance and confidence to know he can have a crack.
Not sure On Enari. the Crusaders maybe looking for a young HB to develop, unless they go for Young Luke Donaldson from the Academy I expect he will back up Drummond in the NPC.
