@kiwimurph that doesn't really strike me as anything new though? Squire, Fifita, and plenty of others (I can't remember the one who got the most grief) have got grief for it in the past. Read used to do it a fair bit before he got cake.
With Read in his peak it was planned. With some others it was shirking.
I don't think that is true in the slightest. A loosie doesn't just stand out wide in a test if it's not the game plan.

@nepia yea this is retarded. every team in NZ plays either 1-3-3-1 or slight variations of that.
so at any one time you have 2 guys playing that spot out wide@muddyriver said in All Blacks 2021:

From 2018 and we’d been discussing it for ages before then.

@stargazer I'd like to see him get a run - I thought he was a good chance of being picked in the first place.

Most dominant loosehead in SR Aotearoa IMO.

@yeetyaah said in All Blacks 2021:
Ross should have been there from the start IMO
Bower was poor yesterday. I thought De Groot went okay. Ross should have been there ahead of both from the start.
@sparky I'm shocked that Bower was ever considered a test option in the first place. Nothing against the guy, but he's nowhere near AB standard.

@tim good stuff, Savea is our best loose forward so that will only improve things. ALB coming in for Ioane at centre will sharpen up the backs aswell.

Foster fattening the players up. Might have been appropriate 30 years ago but pro athletes shouldn't be overdoing the dairy.

Eat lots of ice cream and you too could develop the slim, athletic physique of Ian Foster.

Oh for fuck sake @sparky that's just finding fault for the sake of it.
We're not going to lose a test because Ethan had some orange choc chip ice cream.

The scene as the All Blacks bus nears a dairy.
Foster: Fozzy needs foooood. Fozzy needs ice cream. Driver, pull over. I need fooooooooood.
Plumtree: What about the lads?
Foster: They can have ice cream too. Ethan can have triple scoop. And George Bridge can have a fourth scoop coz I like him.
Plumtree: Ice cream stop boys. But remember, don't push in front of the coach in the food queue. Ngani Laumape forgot that rule last year and look what happened to him.

When Plumtree saaid they needed to be more physical I didn't realize they needed to bulk up with more ice cream...
