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...

Great to see Ardie back, that's the left wing spot sorted.
2nd 5/8?

That's real dedication as Pokeno is a small detour now. I hope the ABs went to the right shop, not the imposters.

You really should work in tourism, I can just imagine the sign on the road:

I miss orange choc chip ice cream...
I gave ice cream a few years ago on my dentist's advice. I don't miss it.
I hope they play Ardie at 7, I shouldn't need to write that.

@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.

@nostrildamus
With Papali'i not fit, Savea is the best option at openside.@cgrant said in All Blacks 2021:
@nostrildamus
With Papali'i not fit, Savea is the best option at openside.I don't think many on this site would disagree. Question is though, where should Papali'i rank if all 7s are fit?

Yeah I have Papalii as the best openside, if Cane came back I could abide him at 6, but then we'd have to have a big bopper at 8, with I guess Savea to the bench. Tough for Jacobson.
I just think Paps has to be there in the form he's in.

@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.

Yes, but bacon. Everything is better with bacon and they make it there. So...
When is Pap due back?
