    @MajorRage As far as I know, it's just an unconfirmed rumour at this stage.

    Goosen is a victim of the return of the bus.

    It’s a strong rumour though as someone mentioned he was off pre game on Saturday. Just needs to be confirmed officially I think. Sucks to see him go as he’s been mr consistent for a long time.

          Probably will go earlier because there is now no reason to pick him

            @Machpants Sucks for the Blues, but the writing was on the wall.

            Big season for Josh Fusitua coming up!

              "after completing this year's Rugby Championship"

              It was touch and go if he'd be in the squad. No point selecting him now. Time to get some experience into other options

                That's probably just when his NZR contract officially ends.

                  yep, it's not like he's a vital cog. Perfect excuse to let him go.

                    That may open a place for Hodgeman or Ross.

                      That 100% should open the place for them.

                          The place should already be open. Would have been a poor selection to pick Karl. Really underwhelming last 12 months

                            No doubt but not trusting Foster’s selections it confirms the open place.

                              Smart move by Big Karl. His game should suit the Top 14.

                                      @Stargazer really disappointed that the All Blacks did not invest more time in this guy , as a scrummaging hooker , hes probably the best in the country , he actually gets a lot of turnover ball and carries very well ..always has question marks over his throwing in , but i believe if he had been given a bit more time in the saddle that side of his game could have been developed ..
                                      Is a decent size no 2 as well …Asafo Amua gives me the creeps at international level simply because he cant scrum and his lineout throwing is average at best , sure hes dynamic around the field but at international level i prefer players who can get their core roles down pad first

                                        @Steven-Harris I agree with your concerns about Aumua, but - other than winning turnovers - I don't really rate Coltman much. He's had plenty of years to improve his line-out throwing, but just didn't improve enough for an AB recall. There's a good reason why he was leapfrogged by Ash Dixon at the Landers, the last few years.

                                          @Stargazer thats a fair enough comment , Coltman was given his an opportunity ..Ash Dixon very unlucky not to have worn an ABs jersey
