    Blackadder, Bell, Sititi, Perofeta, Vaai are the worst picks IMO. Each one has a better option.

    Sititi appears to have the highest ceiling of them, the others don't even seem to have that future potential. They are all incredibly lucky to be there, to say the least.

          Given the Crusaders were utter shite this season, why have so many of their players made the All Blacks?

              Akira, Sotutu, Darry and Love. Bell isn't even the best hooker in his family.

                I haven’t weighed into the Love love, but I can’t say that I’m surprised by that one. He seems like a poor man’s DMac but even more erratic.

                Perofeta is a poor mans Love

                @Canes4life the only thing I’ll say about Perofeta is that he was playing excellent footy under Rangi last season and given he has AB experience I think they will back themselves to try and get that best out of him.

                          That's a reach. He was playing about the same as he was this season (when he wasn't injured) and his test experience is fuck all. A japan test where he looked poor and 30 seconds in another test

                                For those that wanted change, this is what it looks like. No great surprises to me, except the inclusion of Perofeta, and the bolters (Sititi, Tosi).

                                  And he was clearly gutted. Imagine an always injured Crusader getting picked over you after three games, particuarly as he had his best season playing the tight rugby they asked him to play.

                                      you can tell it's a controversial squad naming when nobody's questioning how Christie got back in.

                                        Remember

                                        This is the first squad only

                                        Ted's first squad in 2004 had Xavier Rush in it.

                                          Luke Jacobson, Wallace Sititi and Ethan Blackadder very lucky.

                                          Should be Hoskins Sotutu, Akira Ioane and Peter Lakai.
