@KiwiMurph I think that is tongue in cheek but he is not good enough.

[pakman]

When is the team announced on Thursday?

[Chris]

@pakman in a couple of minutes. Radio sport is how I can hear it live

@NTA @barbarian @antipodean great news Wallaby fans, your season is saved!! James O'Connor. Yes, that's right the James O'Connor has put pen to paper and is eligible for the Wallabies again this year. Your worries are a thing of the past.

Superb.

Enough of these Bible-bashing Folau types; back to good old, over-privileged white boy, cocaine-fuelled bad haircut shenaningans.

In the old days all the Coke they got through was just to add finish to the Bundies!

No Squire No Luke Whitelock No Naholo

[Tim]

No Nathan Harris.

[Tim]

I hope Aumua has a throwing coach.

[Tim]

Squire is an interesting one.

If the lack of time on the field due to injury wasn't enough, the lack of time due to yellow card...

From NZ Rugby's official release: "Unavailable for selection: Liam Squire has also made himself unavailable as he felt he wasn’t ready to return to international rugby at this stage."

Asked and answered in one elegant minute, Tim!

[mariner4life]

looks shit

[taniwharugby]

So 39 by my count, 28 sans Crusaders...?

Aumua bloody lucky I reckon.

[No Quarter]

Who the fuck is Luke Jacobson

Chiefs 6. Young fella, looks a real talent

Hansen re Akira:

It’s the same problem he’s always had, came into the season not fit enough. He played every game for the blues and at the same time was trying to get fit so he’s a tired athlete. We didn’t see the best of him during super rugby.

We know what’s under the surface, we just need him to take ownership. You can lead a horse to water but can’t make it drink.

[pakman]

Two Ioanes but no Akira.

[Canes4life]

@taniwharugby questionable, he offers a lot more than Harris.
