Curious to know for the thousands of posts on the "bolters" thread did anyone pick Dallas?

Haven't read anyone else's comments, so apologies if I'm just repeating what has already been said, but holy fuck this is a nightmare scenario. On what basis can the selectors determine that Finlay Christie's play over the SR season merit inclusion in the All Black squad over Webber?
How do they watch Beaudy and think "here's a five-eighth to steer us around the park"?
The ongoing mystery that is Shannon Frizzel makes Blackadder Snr as visible as peak Cullen.
Laulala. Clarke. No Stevenson.
So a player that will clearly not be in the position he's been listed, takes the place of one of the form players.
And I bet that the new form players will get their chance to impress by playing an away Test in a depleted match day squad, so will be forced to look disjointed and confirm suspicions they aren't ready yet. And hence we'll take the same donkeys who've failed repeatedly to France.

ha ha good to on him, a true bolter that pick.
A few raised eyebrows from me on some of these picks, but quite clear this is not a RWC squad. It will be interesting to see how many of these players will find any game time and a chance to step up.
Conversely plays like Beaudy, I'm sure will get plenty of time to find any form although for me with a whole season to find some, looks like a player Fozzie just wont give up on..Although I didn't expect him to be named (nor deserved it), I do expect RTS to be playing league before year end and if I am Shaun Stevenson, I would be seriously be considering some of the league offers, such a great football talent and would be a shame to lose him, but in squad as cover only..seriously Fozzie GFY.

Dallas Macleod named MOTM surely on current form he must be in with a chance. -

I posted the forward pack earlier, but hey why not post the backs now too. Imagine how much world rugby are quaking in their boots at potentially playing this lot.
Moody
Coles
Laulala
Whitelock
Vaai
Frizzel
Cane
Savea
Christie
Barrett
Clarke
Barrett
ALB
Jordan
McKenzieThey'll have no idea what hit them.

@Bones That looks like the team we might field against Namibia - with a handful of starters needing match play!
They'll be quaking.

@Steve what what? He contacted dropped players and they didn't get back to him?
Yep . Apparently so.
And then he went and mentioned it on TV.
So people will put 2+2 together and think the likes of Akira and Hoskins have dropped their lip.
He could be depending on those boys later in the year.
Bad management.
Great fodder for us and the media to talk about but another feather in his dunce management cap in my opinion.

Yet last year, when Mo-unga, Whitelock & co spoke out in support of him, he was getting stick for being too close and too friendly with the players.....
