Māori All Blacks to play Ireland?

[Nepia]

@Crucial Do you know what the bright white signifies for those 5 players?

@Tim Wasn't Dickson with the ABs so maybe he's been left out due to that?

It was a Chiefs post and they highlighted the Chiefs

Dickson still on baby watch?

[ACT Crusader]

Congrats to young Max Hicks. Another Mako makes rep footy. Don’t tell @Chris-B

[Tim]

@ACT-Crusader Another player poached by the cheque book union from Harbour ...

[Crucial]

I have started a match thread as well. May be best to discuss in there.

@Crucial If Suafoa and Dickson are available then it's very harash to drop them.

I think they're just trying to give everyone a chance, rather than dropping them for performance reasons. Zarn Sullivan is out too, but was one of the best players last time around

[Canes4life]

Can’t wait to see how B Sullivan and J Moorby go.

Also Zarn Sullivan. He was the best player on the park in the last game.

Second best for me. Dickson my MOTM.

Can we expect some rumours about NZ coaches to start surfacing this week? Pretty ballsy dropping Proctor to the bench.

I see Reed still has his dodgy pictures though.

[Stargazer]

I agree with McMillan, although I like the idea of including them in the Pacific Nations Cup, too.

[Bovidae]

They would need to find another team to have an even number for the PNC. Maybe Argentina A?

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae That's Argentina XV, who're now playing opponents like Georgia, Portugal, Romania. Not sure the PNC is a more attractive option for them.

[Stargazer]

The more I think about it, the more I think the MABs should tour like Argentina XV. That offers a greater variety of opponents than PNC. Opponents like Japan, Spain, Georgia and Romania would be a good start.

Or other minnows like Scotland
