Where is Corey Kellow rated then? Must be a chance?
AB XV - already better than Grace.

I think Grace will be in the All Blacks.
That’s not to say that I would pick him but I think two thirds of their best loose trio will make it, and it won’t include the best of the three.

My uncle overheard a convo Razor was having at a local Sumner cafe yesterday when he was ordering his coffee and he was talking about the Canes 7, 8 and 15 which we can all assume is Lakai, Iose and Love. My assumption is that he will be watching those guys with great intent on Saturday.
I was down in Chch for work a month ago and got to meet Razor in person. What a guy he is. We went for a walk one morning and he came flying by on his bike, gave my uncle a high five almost taking his arm off and had a quick chat, which he almost does with my uncle nearly every morning. My uncle isn't someone that bothers Razor too much but he gave me that feedback yesterday being a Canes supporter. Interesting indeed. He probably has three Chiefs players he'll be looking at closely on Saturday aswell.

Not too much info in this, but mentions that the prop mix and loose forward selection have had plenty of debate. Also name drops Vaa'i and Aumua as players who have learnt from Retallick and Coles, respectively, and taken on more responsibility.

Was it your uncle or Razor who didn't know the names of the Hurricanes players?

I'd be worried if he wasn't. Blind Freddy would be watching those 3 in the biggest game of their careers so far to see how they go - a precursor to see how they would go with the step up to test rugby.

@KiwiMurph I wonder if the AB coaches will be at both semi finals.

You'd think so considering it's their job.

So one minute he’s stalking him in a cafe the next they’re high fiving on bikes ?
Something isn’t adding up here

@MN5 the bike interaction was when I was down there a month ago. Totally separate occurrences. My uncle has a yarn to Razor most mornings at the local cafe down there, or at least when he's around. After meeting Razor, you would never guess he's the AB coach, such a rogue character and is super friendly with most of the frequent locals.
He was meeting people yesterday (two blokes) my uncle didn't recognise and he was in ear shot when he went to purchase his coffee. Could hear them talking about the Canes and the three guys I mentioned but then obv had to shoot off.
Not sure why Razor chose that cafe to have a meeting though because it's boutique and you almost have to shout to talk to the person next to you.

AB coaches go to Six Nations games live.
They can certainly make a Friday night game in Auckland and a Saturday afternoon game in Wellington.
