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

    I am not sure he was 100%?

    That's no excuse, shouldn't have played then.

      I remain hopeful of Ardie to start at 7 and pick both Sotutu and Sititi in the squad.
      We need some size in the pack, and when you have guys like that who are powerful and skillful, they are our point of difference.

      Oh, do other nations not have any players who are powerful and skilful ?

      Brad Shields played for England, so there's that.

          Sotutu's drawback is that he isn't as good as Ardie and only covers 8.

          He’s better than Sititi and that’s who’s rumoured to be in.

          I disagree.
          Sititi is more powerful and direct than Sotutu.
          It appears two different sets of coaching groups don't like him.

          It's the same coach that doesn't like him. Jason Ryan.

          Wrong.
          Razor selects the loose forwards.
          Ryan the tight 5.

          OK fine but I wouldn't call Ryan and Razor two sets of coaching groups. Two peas in a pod

          haha - he has the results.
          Saders and then ABs made massive improvements with him in charge.

          Weird, he was everyone's favorite 'til they (Blue supporters and a few others) think he might have had a hand in not selecting their favorite players.

            The issue with that is Patty T played well, Jordan didn't.

                That was subtle. Is the other half posting?!

                Back to the thread (sorry Cane fans I don't think Shields is in the frame), I do wonder what if any effect that final might have on Monday announcements. There were some 1:1 matchups that revealed quite a bit, at least in the forwards.

                I do wonder if Darry could be a quiet contender tomorrow, he did all the basics well, backed up, and was still focused and impactful right at the end.

                  There was some improvement overall and great in some games. In others - 2nd half against England and against the Bokke at Twickenham - they produced some of the worst AB forwards performances I've seen for years.

                  Work in progress.

                      The team I put up was just my opinion. Don’t take everything I say as gospel. I know I’m normally right. I personally wouldn’t pick Havilii or George Bell.

                              I don't think it's quiet. If Strange gets selected and Darry doesn't, I'll lose pretty much all faith in Razor. I could understand Vaai ahead of him, but not an inexperienced, ineffective numbnuts.

                                  Darry could be a quiet contender

                                  I don't think it's quiet. If Strange gets selected and Darry doesn't, I'll lose pretty much all faith in Razor. I could understand Vaai ahead of him, but not an inexperienced, ineffective numbnuts.

                                  I can understand an out of form incumbent being chosen over an in form newbie. That example doesn't qualify

                                    Strange ain’t making the All Blacks.

                                      The team I put up was just my opinion. Don’t take everything I say as gospel. I know I’m normally right. I personally wouldn’t pick Havilii or George Bell.

                                      So your "secret" list was actually rancid bait? You bastard

                                      @canefan I thought this was a page where we could all pick out teams. We all are entitled to our own opinions.
                                      I know a few things , but don’t know 75% of the team or who is going to be captain.
                                      I know the theme and who did all the voice overs.

                                        Seems to be a lot on here have been drinking the coolade and getting all flustered about something that hasn’t even happened yet.

                                        Let’s see the team tomorrow, then ya’ll can go hammer and tongs at each other - I’ll sit back and watch the show.
