North vs South

@Machpants said in North vs South:
Bad look when the ABs captain can only make a 3rd XV!
And MacKenzie makes a starting lineup...
@ACT-Crusader I think McKenzie gets in, because the only realistic alternative is moving BB to fullback, and then naming Black at 10. So it's basically a choice between BB-Dmac and Black-BB.

That North team is obviously picked by JK.

Hard to see them dropping Beaudie , the old its harder to get out than get in cliche
But we could end up with an interesting scenario not too far off ,if not already, with Mounga , Jordie and Jorden improving at the rate that they are .
They dropped Cully back in the day. Anything is possible.

Yeah, imagine dropping a bloke whose form was falling off a cliff

@Kiwiwomble I think it's a combo of ABs trial and an exciting, income generating event. It would be awesome if form was as important a consideration as ABs selection, but I'm not sure that will happen. If they'd select on form, then - for example - they should select Ash Dixon as the starting hooker for North, but I just can't see that happening. He might miss out of selection entirely, because they want Coles and Aumua to play.

How do you work that?
Are you saying he is not as good as Christie? And that these are the top two XVs in the country?
This isn't A v B, Probs v Poss etc.

Not me, the two teams picked by The Breakdown, the top 30 players in there country, did not include cane. Therefore he can only make a3rd XV. Not tricky
@Machpants i think @booboo is saying hes not eligible for one of these teams....so harsh to say he missed out on selection for the South

Isn't it better to say the two teams picked by the idiots who front Sky tv shows? I'd suggest TJ is in the top 30 players in the country and he's not there.

Jeez it was just a joke, two best teams in the country (proviso: according to a bunch of ex all Blacks, picked with some odd criteria) does not include the current ABs Captain. That's Ridiculous

You got to be careful joking around when its rep selection time

This article is mainly about North v South, but also some paragraphs about Farah Palmer Cup, Mitre 10 Cup, SR(A) 2021.

Hinton and Knowler pick their NI and SI XVs. Marc should be ineligible to be a NI selector as a Otagoite.
