@FakatavaAllBlack said in All Blacks Vs Ireland - 2nd Test: @Chris-B seems like there's a mako arriving at Abs training every few days first it was former mako Telea, then Lomax, now Frizell & you seem to think quin isn't far away It's because the NZR salary top up is minimised due to the lavish Mako contracts.

@mariner4life said in All Blacks Vs Ireland - 2nd Test: 3 weeks ago we picked 5 locks, now we have 2, after 1 game. That's quite the attrition rate. One assumes Patty T will come straight on to the bench. God help us if one of the starters goes down early. Didn't you play lock bro? Time to book a flight...

I was a toss of a coin away from AB selection. No - sorry, the point I wanted to make is that I'd be crippled for life in the first tackle, so I am "unavailable for selection"!!!

Surely any 10 anywhere in NZ is in with a chance following that precedent.
