    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.

          @booboo I assume you've heard of the concept of a "joke"?

              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.

                                @nostrildamus As kids we used to stop for an ice cream at Pokeno regularly. Much more fun when you had to cross SH1 to get from the car to the shop. Now it's just a quiet main street.

                                    @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.

                                    Not concerned about LH, as selectors have plenty of options, many of whom are good scrummagers.

                                    Still short of that at TH, where Nepo is the only A grade, but no faster than a tractor.

                                        I don't think many on this site would disagree. Question is though, where should Papali'i rank if all 7s are fit?

                                          @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.

                                          Project.

                                          Not concerned about LH, as selectors have plenty of options, many of whom are good scrummagers.

                                          Still short of that at TH, where Nepo is the only A grade, but no faster than a tractor.

                                          Not faster than the JCB Fastrac Two-217 km/h!
