    @Snowy it's called unconscious bias, our media tall about it all the time.

    But I agree with you, there are some of us that can see past provincial bias 😎

    Yes I know about unconscious bias, but it can be overcome with rational thought. You're not one of the people I would have picked to see past provincial bias...just saying.

          Better not perfect

          Nothing in rugby is perfect, the laws, the refs, the teams. I just want to see the best players play in the rep teams with no bias.

          Agree.

          Moody, Taylor, Alaalatoa, Whitelock, S.Barrett...

                      Sometimes I think @KiwiMurph is actually Oscar the grouch. Then I just remember he's been a blues fan the last 15 or so years.

                                        I was yelling it from the stands after about 5 minutes.

                                        It took him another 35 minutes to listen to you unfortunately.

                                        No. For those minutes he was thinking, β€˜I wish that noisy prick would STF up!’.

                                          Papali'i/Boshier

                                          If it's six loosies that's what I would go for (assuming Dalton over Boshier)

                                          The first 4 would be in the 23 for the big matches
                                          Sotutu would get less game time but is worth getting into the AB system
                                          The 6th loosie is an all rounder mostly as injury cover

                                          MMT, Boshier, Robinson all worthy of a spot. I expect plenty of tantrums on the forum about who misses out.

                                          Foster won't pick that though..
