Japan vs All Blacks
-
@mn5 as I have explained to you numerous times before, it isnt hatred, I dont know them, so I honestly cant say I would hate them just cos they write shit online (I mean some posters on here...)
I think they are pathetic in the way they write purely for clicks, that is why I refuse to give them any.
As for your mate, again, I dont hate him, I think he is a massive cnut, but I dont hate him.

Admittedly this post was just a way for me to have a go at Veitch. Wasn't the first. Won't be the last.

the backline has 57 caps, Dane Coles has 56.
-
The only point of interest for me is Dane Coles. So good to see him back, nothing against Codie that kid is world class, but Coles is the most influential hooker I have ever watched. If we can get him fit and in form for the WC we will have two absolute weapons in Codie and Coles.
-
That, right there, is NZ A.

@taniwharugby So the "unlucky" extras are Aumua, O’Neill, Hall and Havili. Havili possibly the unluckiest one, because he actually is a test-capped player and had an excellent season, but yeah, Jordie is in "the" squad and apparently they don't need proper midfield cover (in the reserves or elsewhere in the starting XV).

@stargazer It was going to be Havili or Bridge in the reserves, not both. I would have went for the former as he can cover midfield.
-
@stargazer I felt Havili was poor during Super Rugby. Not as good as he was last year.
-
@bovidae I'd hoped for Naholo on the right wing, Bridge on the left, Havili on the bench, and NMS sent to the MABs.

Apart from Perry, the players used during the season as injury replacements are all starting. Coltman ahead of Aumua for the same reason, but Coles was always going to start.

@bovidae Yeah, I know. I just find it odd. If Laumape goes down, I suppose Jordie will move to 12; if Proctor goes down, they'll move either Naholo or Jordie to centre. I just don't think that's a good idea. Except for his lack in experience at test level, I think Bridge is currently much better than NMS.
