Utter bollocks, Blackadder trains like Tarzan and plays like Tarzan and most likely will be the difference against teams like Ireland and SA. I would say it’s one of the few good decisions that Foster has made, but it would have been Ryan who made the call.

Confirmed now Blackadder left this morning
Excellent!
Good grief. Let’s look at this selection.
We now have two players in the squad covering 6,7,8 with Jacobson playing like a non-entity (just like the last time he was selected).
So they bring in Ethan who has not played 80mins for what feels like years, and prone to getting reinjured. All for a player that has never had a good game against the top ranked sides.
The epitome of trains like Tarzan and plays like Jane.
Assume he plays six, with savea and cane. Ireland or SA are going to eat him alive.

Blackadder, like him or not, plays fucking hard - so the Jane comment is just plain wrong.
Picking a guy who hasn't played much footy is always questionable though. -

@Kirwan At this stage I'd just about take 'looks busy'.
How far the All Blacks have fallen.

I would actually prefer the do something "effective..."

@Kirwan said in All Blacks 2023:
He looks busy, but is ineffective against bigger players. Wait and see.
I think we can all agree he can’t be worse than Vaai.

@African-Monkey no, you couldn’t
@Stag Yeah, you could.

@Bones Oh, was just gonna tell you about Fletcher Newell's father flying to South Africa for his test debut and the story behind it. You may shed a tear or 2 after hearing it.......
Meanwhile, there is a Blackadder shaped hole in the ABs squad incase you didn't know.

Consider that Blackadder shaped hole now filled you cheeky little fucking pup.

@Steve If only Beauden Barrett could go back to the days where he played the game like he was being controlled by someone on playstation, your life would be complete.
Did you cry when Fletch came on for his WC debut?

I don't think Ethan B plays like Jane but I do have a concern over
- Lineouts (no tall loosies) and
- EB's propensity to injury.
I really suspect Ryan does not rate Akira.

Ethan B is good in the lineouts.
