Wow, anyone would think a form player has never missed selection before...

Hard to think of a time before when the NZ Super Rugby player of the season has been totally overlooked by the selectors. Not picking Hoskins Sotutu for the AB squad would be a genuine jaw-dropper.

Got a list of the players of the year? That might make it easier to think of one.

Razor should just name the entire Blues squad, throw in a couple of Barretts and be done with it.

By the looks of things you could throw in a couple of canes fans in the delighted category.

It’s hard to pinpoint which fans are the most rabid at the moment.
I’m supposed to be on cooking tomorrow but I don’t want to miss the shitfight on here at 5.31pm so I might ask the girl if we can switch.
Make sure you set the alarm and you’re up early so as not to miss the fun

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.@Frank said in Name Your AB Team:

I’d argue Jordie Barrett is far more of a utility and has done it at test level too ?
Havilii wasn’t an adequate 10 at Super Level and as @Bones alluded to I can’t even remember him playing 15 it was so long ago.

@Chris Scott Barrett won it last year, Will Jordan won it the year before. I can't find a full list though.

Have a feeling @sparky has been on a 24 hour bender since the blues won with the state of some of his posts.

The good news for any Blues players who don’t make the ABs is that they can go and transform English Rugby instead.
