@Victor-Meldrew thing is, a lot of that experience is not exactly the experience that is in top form.

And what happens if Jordie crocked?
That is a bit weird. Ennor?
We are down 3 2nd 5s - ALB, Havili and QT.
Ioane has played some 12 in his time so I guess he’s the back up.

Rieko at 12 :anxious_face_with_sweat:
This is supposed to be the greatest Rugby nation on Earth. How have we come to this.
Nonu is kicking drop goals in the US aged 41.....and Rieko is our cover at 12 after all these years.
Fuck me pink.

Foster you stupid kant
its the most batshit mental few years of Allblack management I have ever seen.
There is no pattern, rhyme or reason to this when you look at his tenure as a whole.
Injury is his best selector.
I do not understand the latest iteration of the Allblacks. It's just a bizarre project to me these days.
I don't get it.

@Steve it is almost over...
Thank Fuck, the mind explosions of the Fozzie era just keep coming.

I love it an AB named and plenty of keyboard warriors upset. It means we all care , even if we have no idea of why players are picked etc. And of course if we liked the selections we would of noted the influence of Ryan and Schmidt. I guessing Boks board will be in simalr mode, and I already has texts form mates in Aus going crook about Hodge, Wright etc etc in their backline! Its good.

@Dan54 oh well, just be thankful it's almost over, and next year we will have other stuff to moan about...Cantab bias, didnt win by a hundred points etc

Ryan will be getting the forward pack he wants.
I’ll be very surprised if we lose this game because of the back selections. It’s a bit shit, I agree, but if we lose it will be on the forwards (maybe Dmac if he completely shits the bed).
I’m a bit pissed to not see Finau there, I assume he’ll get a go against Oz or even SA.
I don’t think Stevenson gets capped. Roigard maybe.
Looking at the AB15 team, I think there are some players in that team who are ahead of some in the ABs (or will be when it comes to WC selections).
-
Problem is Foster doesn't even have any idea why he selects players,I am sure he uses the dartboard method, that is pretty clear over the Foster error oops era.
-
@Chris come on, we know he does it based on player ratings from "EA Rugby 16"
-
@Kiwiwomble
Now you have just blasted his secrets all over the Fern,I think his EA Rugby 16" has a virus.@Chris it doesn't have lots of new players, so he gets someone to put post its on the screen changing names of old players for new ones
-
Just saw the team now, have been less interested in the actual selection since the squad itself was named and I used up all my ire then.
Very surprised to see DMac starting. Will have to check out Planet Rugby to see the Cantabs on there as they must be melting down about Mo not starting.
I never expected SS to get a run. They just don't rate, we knew that last year when he they didn't select him in the ABXV initially. His selection this year seemed like merely a sop to the fans when they knew there was no danger of playing him.

It feels like at times and I might be wrong ,
Fozzie thinks , what would Shag do here ?
For example the way he sticks with players he thinks are proven , like Shag did with his ageing champions when there was outside noise to drop them
