@Kirwan as in fuck all change really, aside from the obvious bolstering of the squad with big Shannon, is that the last we see of PGS in black?

[Bovidae]

The ODT must have good sauces.

[Donsteppa]

Here is the All Blacks squad! Sam Cane retains the captain's armband.

So... in the end no obvious change at all after the Irish series, similar squad, Sam does stay, Foster stays... Assistants...?

[KiwiMurph]

De Groot in and Dickson as a travelling replacement player is the only good news?

Cane still captain?

All that build up to name nearly the same squad but including another criminal?

[Kiwiwomble]

Have to feel for PGS, dont get me wrong, was lucky to be there to start with...but i dont think he did a hell of a lot wrong in his limited time...and then not even in the squad
