Has Harry Plummer done enough to be a third choice No.10?
He's shown more than Beaudy has in six years. If anyone misses out it should be Beauden. That won't happen though.

@Canes4life what if the ones he picks
are who he and his coaching team thinks are the best players?@taniwharugby said in Name Your AB Team:

Surely Razor was there last night?

@canefan you'd hope so.

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?
-
As good as Narawa was in the semi, he turned over a lot of ball throwing 50/50s last night. Not what I want my wingers to be doing. Reece gets the nod over him for me, and Clark has been very mature and confident this season which could push him into the frame

I think Clarke has nailed himself to the 11, and I would start Reece at 14 over Telea. I think MT has been nursing an injury, as the last month he's been less effective.

Noticed that too.
The only time I have noticed him is when he tries to (mostly rather ineffectively) make meters from playing halfback at the ruck.If it weren't for his previous experience, he would not have been picked based on this year's form.

I will be very interested in Razor's comments about the squad - hopefully he hints at players on the radar that will get a look in later in the year.
The one that I would have the most issues with is Havili. If you pick him as a 10 there are better options if you pick him as a 12 there are better options if you pick him as a 15 there are better options if you pick him as a utility there are better options.

Havili can play all three.
Perhaps they want him on the bench to free up space for other places.
I don't like it either.
Hopefully he is just an experienced placeholder for the 1st two tests and they cast their net wider once the Rugby Championship gets started. -

I don't anyone can mount a credible justification for him. Other than "I'm a fanboi so he's in"

Same if they pick Bell or Strange, better options in better form, and better young prospects in form. You need to earn the AB jersey by playing well, not just be selected on potential (or the franchise you belong to).

Lol has Strange ever shown form?
