The Silver Fern

Shame to see Mitch Hay miss out, thought had looked good in his appearances last season

@canefan sorry, will step away and enjoy the moment.

@canefan what, sign overseas during your first AB season?

@canefan dare he actually win something and play well. I get you don't appreciate what he does and he isn't world class but why so much hate

@RoninWC but all the chiefs loose forwards are better and they achieved what in this game?

@reprobate they are arguably the greatest collection of locks and loosies in the history of the game

@brodean so who in NZ currently is better?

@canefan I definitely believe he is and has shown that he is capable of being world class over the last few years

Different question if he's the best captain choice but certainly a starter

If he isn't in the top two then who replaces him? I can't see anyone coming close to either of SB or Vaa'i

@Canes4life Why would Love play ahead of Jordan at 15? I would think that it should be the other way round. The only way I see Jordan at 14 is with Barret at 15

@Duluth I use tribe, covers school rugby through to all international sports, really easy to choose what you want to follow

@Victor-Meldrew Even when you lose you dont, life must be good for you

@Machpants how is he obvious first choice when Dmac has started all bar one game
To me Dmac is the first choice and will start the big games

@pakman a good chance for another young player to step up

@pakman he was selected but injured so unable to tour

Isn't Lio-Willie more capable of playing multiple positions where Sotutu is more of a specialist hence why he wasn't picked? And given we have 2 eights already it makes sense to have some who can cover 6 & 7

@nzzp yet dmac doesn't have a better test or super record, why have different criteria?

Do you answer your own question with Razor and Mounga, they won more than any combo of 10 and coach, so either Foster couldn't get best out of Mounga or Dmac can't work with Razor

@Canes4life Well if DMac leaves then Mo'unga certainly would be needed

@Duluth awesome work, very much appreciate the effort

@Winger more think you come across like that, Sam constantly performed at the highest level and knew whatever what was required at the time

I am just pleased someone who was involved issue willing to discuss it

@Canes4life This coming Saturday I believe
