Calm down Neps. Enough is enough. He’s not exactly Andrew Merhtens. He was actually a reasonably big fella when I walked past him in the airport.

Mehrtens was an AB 12?

No but Havili covers 10

Not for the ABs judging on his recent 10 form for the Crusaders!

DH is another player who in recent times has been kissed on the dick a lot more than his ability would suggest he deserves

four fullbacks
four hybrid opensides

this is certainly some recipe. i can't wait to see what the master plan is

It would have made more sense to pick Paps, Cane and RD, and thrown in Finau and three other blokes big enough to challenge him at six, which is where we're weak!

I hope TWM have rung Hoss to ensure he's on standby in case of any niggles.

@Bones Of course they did.

and i seriously question the viewing of Finau as a lock/6

A break glass in case of emergency lock if no-one else can play there is about Finau's level at lock unfortunately.

[ARHS]

@Windows97 you must have seen a lot more than me. He looked very good there for Waikato in 2020 before he switched to flanker.

If we eliminate Scooter and the pre NPC 12 from squad we get:

EDG/Taylor/Lomax/PaddyT/Vaa’i/Paps/Finau/RD/TJS/DMac/Jordie/Rieko/Telea/Reece/Perofeta
Tamaiti/Aumua/Fletch/Darry/LJ/Ratima/ALB/BB

@pakman it's easier to type Savea than RD
