I don't mind the Sititi selection, I won't get to see it but a Finau Savea (at 7) and Sititi combo would have been interesting. Then again start Sotutu at 8 then Sititi off the bench, grab some popcorn and listen to the international commentators try to get across that..
Ardie is our 8. He's world rugby player ,playing at 8, why would you change him?
Because he's allergic to rucks and dominant tackles

How the fuck do people not see this?

Perofeta is interesting. I can't see why. Someone mentioned above he's been good the last couple of weeks, but then Leon said it was picked before the finals so...
I don't see our fullbacks as being a spot the opposition will worry about too much

He wasn’t good in the final, in fact he was the most ineffective Blues back on Saturday. Lam, Ioane and Plummer were the standouts. I’d be happier if they picked Plummer as a 10 and Beauden as a fullback. But Perofeta over Love is just baffling.

The Blues boys will be disappointed. But it's Razor's first squad. They need to come back next season and smash everyone up front just like this season, especially the crusaders. And wait to see if the guys he's picked can come up with the goods. If not the pressure will ramp up pretty quick

Sititi to Sotutu would be good fun

Tough crowd.
World Rugby Player of the Year isn't good enough for Razor's All Blacks.Savea's incredible, but unbalances the trio. This isn't new.

You dudes are suggesting Ardie Savea shouldn't be picked. -

He's the ultimate bench player. Fuck he would be good coming in at the 50 minute mark

How about player's player of the year (multiples), as voted by the ABs themselves? I think they know better than Reddit creamers

Oh yeah cuz, another plate from the buffet Ards, I got ya.
The boy has some mana no doubt about it, but there are certainly things in his game that have caused balance issues.

Lol Ardie was by far our best player last year, people on here are seriously moronic.
The fact he’s even being questioned shows the lack of memory people have. He was a workhorse last year on both sides of the ball and I remember everyone eating their words. Now we are back to square one again so he has to prove himself yet again. Get fkd.
Whitelock and Ardie carried the ABs at times last year. Maybe other players need to get on their level.
Ardie isn’t the issue here.

TJ to lead haka

My issue is the totally dominant Blues pack only gets 3 into the AB’s.
Bell and Perofeta, have not done a damn thing to justify selection.

Robertson and co have clearly favoured the Crusaders. Shame but I expected this
But re totally dominate. the Canes pack outplayed the Blues quite easily in the first match. And later vs the Crusaders the Blues were also outplayed.
But Crusaders 6 forwards to the Blues 3 seems a bit odd. As does the Canes (exc Savea) only getting three forwards. With Numia not rated.

@antipodean
Ardie is a total energizer bunny workhorse who stood out even when we played shit.
A lot of group-think going on.Sad.
