@higgins should not even be in the team in my book ..personally he’s a last man standing selection …
-
At least they got the Captain right to stand in for Cane.
Squad will look better with Moodey,Ofa T,Goodhue,Cane maybe TJP( better than Christie)all back for 2022.
But I can see some of these selected players not surviving after the RC.The worst thing is it is going to look like a brilliant squad before that, with 3 weak tests.
It will make Foster look like a Rockstar in some peoples eye's until he gets really found out. -

Totally agree

@steven-harris Agreed. Surely the Going family must have someone available that could do a decent job?

Finlay Christie will be the next subject of bitter press attacks from up north in their next tirade on poaching. I appeal to the NZRFU to rescind that particular selection to appease those upset about blatant poaching.
I'm worried he'll get capped.
Why in a team stacked with blindside flankers isn't Big Red selected?
How is it we have so few fit props? The two competent ones make Owen look like a young Jones.
