Now the conspiracy theory will be if this is an injury or a way of getting out of the tour

Yeah the reason for pulling out will be because he'll go to England. Watch this space.

Surely that means a call up for Brayden Iose. Oh forget it, someone like Cullen Grace will come in.

Dare I say it, Grace might be a better bet. Iose is the ultimate one-side of the ball player... eye-catching on attack, but probably lacks a bit of size, and not noted for his defending.

So Hoskins is reportedly out with a knee injury now.

[Wurzel]

We won't know the full story until Hoskins makes a sulky post on Insta

Well that gives an reason for Lio going instead.

Big Grace fan here (when firing) but he is horribly out of form this year. No way near selection.

Dalton 4-5 weeks apparently, so unlikely to tour.

Hoskins was average as in the quater final. He looked disinterested at times. A long way below the form he'd produced in the round robin match against Wgtn. You wouldn't have known he was the best loosie in Super this year. Maybe too many minutes this season?

[DurryMexted]

@gt12 Oh yeah how many metres gained? i dont know where the stats are reported, i am interested

Well if he was playing with an injury it's a fucking gutsy effort... the kind Blackadder could only dream of.

He must have bumped Blackadder in the lobby, contagious niggle.

He can swap not playing whilst in the squad for not playing whilst out of the squad

That's good trolling.
Good work.

Injured himself kicking the wall when not selected for Japan.
I blame Razor or anyone from Canterbury for their clear bias.

[canefan]

@antipodean said in All Blacks EOYT:

I want to know of another loose forward that played as many minutes as Hos did, scoring anywhere near as many tries, or try assists, being as involved not just carrying the ball but as a distributor.

You say all that, but can he play the other side of the ball?

Probably code for "I give up"

[canefan]

I felt like Razor came into the job with a large amount of goodwill banked. And for me he's pissed all of that away with his selections. The ABs have to be a meritocracy, and it doesn't feel like it right now

This 2022 forward pack for the U20s is looking like a glimpse into the next few years. I reckon that loosie trio could be together in the senior squad soon enough.https://www.rugby.com.au/match-centre/68e899d9ee85768c5?tab=Player-Lineup
