    @Frank said in All Blacks 2022:

    Perhaps if Tom tears it up in the grand final, then he might be named? Nah, probably not.

    Tom's too little to be an AB lock.

    To be honest, Eklund looks pretty small to be a contender at hooker as well - though he has played well this season. I would have been pretty surprised to see him there, so Tana and Richard not convincing me.

    And if de Groot has failed to meet his fitness targets, which seems to have been widely publicised, then I'm pleased to see Fozzie taking a leaf out of Dame Noeline's book and giving him a boot up the arse.

    Would it be possible and how long would it take for someone like Tom Robinson to put on 5kg?
    Is it possible?
    Certainly has the workrate, right attitude and lineout prowess.

    Why not just pick him at 6?

    I would've.

    Guys with his height and mobility don't grow on trees - whereas at lock he's always going to be stretching in terms of height and weight.

    You realise he is taller than Scott Barrett?

      So why is Foster not bringing in a replacement for Lord? As a Coach he ia a bloody idiot for not replacing him. That is the $1m question.

        I am sure there will be a replacement player named eventually but there is no need to do that today, the day before the final.

          @number9 It's only three tests. Do they really need more than 4 locks? After all, they may still include a replacement in the RC squad.

          For the Ireland Series, maybe they'll use one or more of the Māori ABs locks as injury cover/back-up. Both squads have crossed-over in the past.

            @Stargazer issue is that they won't be replacing Lord. They do not say that they will use the Maoris. This just shows how much of a moron Foster is. Bring Robinson into the environment or even Goodhue.

                They may have forgotten they must report every movement and thought to you? You should write him a letter to remind him and tell him how utterly disgusted you are! It's just not on is it? Morans!

                                    I don't know how anyone could come up with the idea that any posters are supporters of Foster. You'd be digging pretty hard to find any truly supportive posts (someone saying they can understand a decision doesn't translate to support unless you're paranoid). Hence I can't understand why that post would be taken seriously...

                                      Man, there could be some fireworks tomorrow night.

                                      My hope is that the angry cantab who hates Akira Ioane will show up tomorrow night, to try and assuage his sorrow by bagging him.

                                        Perhaps if Tom tears it up in the grand final, then he might be named? Nah, probably not.

                                        Tom's too little to be an AB lock.

                                        To be honest, Eklund looks pretty small to be a contender at hooker as well - though he has played well this season. I would have been pretty surprised to see him there, so Tana and Richard not convincing me.

                                        And if de Groot has failed to meet his fitness targets, which seems to have been widely publicised, then I'm pleased to see Fozzie taking a leaf out of Dame Noeline's book and giving him a boot up the arse.

                                        Would it be possible and how long would it take for someone like Tom Robinson to put on 5kg?

                                        Guys with his height and mobility don't grow on trees - whereas at lock he's always going to be stretching in terms of height and weight.

                                        You realise he is taller than Scott Barrett?

                                        Perhaps if Tom tears it up in the grand final, then he might be named? Nah, probably not.

                                        Tom's too little to be an AB lock.

                                        To be honest, Eklund looks pretty small to be a contender at hooker as well - though he has played well this season. I would have been pretty surprised to see him there, so Tana and Richard not convincing me.

                                        And if de Groot has failed to meet his fitness targets, which seems to have been widely publicised, then I'm pleased to see Fozzie taking a leaf out of Dame Noeline's book and giving him a boot up the arse.

                                        Would it be possible and how long would it take for someone like Tom Robinson to put on 5kg?
                                        Is it possible?
                                        Certainly has the workrate, right attitude and lineout prowess.

                                        Why not just pick him at 6?

                                        I would've.

                                        No-one ever thought of playing him at 6, eh? 🙂

                                        This is the guy I'm really interested in countering.

                                          We will not win the World Cup with Foster as the head coach. The guy is a complete moron, we won't make the final, knocked out in the semis.
