Lakai is with the team as an ‘emerging player’. He was told he will be with the team for 2 weeks.
At the camp held the other week, Ruben Love was running at 10, Beauden Barrett wasn’t training much due to some kind of injury/infection. As far as I know, he is fine now.
The fact Love was running at 10 during that camp might tell you how big the gap is between those named and the next tier below that weren’t.
Caleb Clarke injury is also fine.

I hope his coaching is better than his oratory, because that is fucking cringeworthy.
"We come together from all over the country. These players have been given a gift from their mum and dad to play our great game of rugby."
“We’re representing the past players that went before us that left deep footprints and now it’s our chance to walk forward into the blackness.

Very reminiscent of Kirwan “Better never stops”

The next tier among those teams that didn't make the final

Re Hoskins: The elephant in the room is how the coaching setup has handled the situation. We don't know what was said during the SR season and before the squad announcement, but Sotutu is clearly upset/pissed off.
From a man-management perspective that is an appallingly bad look.

Having an 8 who is excellent in lineout served us very well when Reado was in his pomp.
Seems we only have one top option in loosies, which is Finau.

Read was lucky to be selected really, no versatility.

I hope you're not basing that off a fucking Instagram caption. Has he come out and clearly stated he's upset/pissed off? What have I missed?

Given the timing I think it's logical he's expressing his disappointment / frustration. It's unlikely he's going to hold a press conference telling the AB selectors to fuck themselves.

Haha yeah mate, hence why I said the gap between those named(Dmac and Perofeta were in the final).
Interesting they didn’t take a look at any other 10s that weren’t playing in the final is my point. Eg Someone they are eyeing up for AB’s XV.

@Victor-Meldrew so.... absolutely nothing clear about it at all?

I take it all back. Clearly, he's absolutely ecstatic and certainly isn't upset and pissed off at not being selected.

No doubt they've done something in the background. I mean it's supposed to be the strength of Razor isn't it?

On reflection, It's possible that he has an attitude problem of some kind which they didn't like - as well as the work-ons. Maybe his SM reaction confirmed that?

Cullen Grace was named in the Maori squad?
Yeah he is I thought they are already training they play this Saturday.

The Māori team flew to Japan today. We'll know soon enough if Grace wasn't on the plane.

Then you'd expect Leon would've put that misconception to rest.
