    I reckon chchfanatic is on the money.
    Razor has strongly plumped for experience (even then I can't stomach Havili ahead of AJ Lam)
    Sititi is the only true bolter.

        Halfbacks:
        Ratima
        Perenara
        Fakatava

        No Roigard?

        Injured, not considered

        I'll pick mine (and pretend they're all uninjured):

        Then Will Jordan enters for Love?

        I dunno it was @Nepia's no-one-injured team, so I was asking if he thinks that the 3 9s he listed are better than Roigard

        Forgot about Jordan too, or I remembered his perfrormance in the RWC final. 😉

          Personal, Bower, Bell, Va'ai, Sititi, Cane, Blackadder, Havilli, and even Narewa would be 50/50 only , And on Sititi way to early, he was out played last night

                I agree with a bunch of those. If Sititi played himself into AB contention in Wellington, for now the final should count against him. Sotutu has been strong all season. Cane could help with leadership transition, but our loosies stocks are strong and it feels like an opportunity lost to try out another player who could be a find for the next 4 years.

                  Picking players for a game plan maybe not who everyone thinks is the best players in each position.
                  It will be interesting to see how the ABs are going to play.

                  plus 4 players to be added for the RC squad which is 36 players some may also get dropped out.

                          The Blues showed the kind of game plan that will work vs teams like England and the Boks. We've been too loose for too long

                                He's shown more than Beaudy has in six years. If anyone misses out it should be Beauden. That won't happen though.

                                  To be fair I would rather Plummer than Cameron or Perofeta ,

                                  Plummer I think has been very solid I reckon he can do a good job.

                                        That, or he didn't watch the Blues dominance last night.

                                        Surely Razor was there last night?

                                          If Razor doesn't pick the best looseforward in the country this Super season, then I have very low expectations from the ABs this year.

                                          The bane of the Foster era was conservative selections when players put their hands up. No point having the most talented players in the world if you don't pick them.

                                          Lam has done enough to get ahead of the epitome of mid Havilli for example. How many times does a player have to fail to impress at Test level before you move on?
