Re: OFFICIAL AB's V FRANCE 'Can we field the Love tonight" match thread.

Given the subsequent injury to another loose forward, Vai'i, presumably Papali'i remained as cover once Jacobson was fit again. Can you please point me to a similar announcement for Ah Kuoi?

A complete disgrace to send down a C team, half of the squad are making their debuts. TV ratings will plummet, ad revenue will be down, and it makes a mockery of the entire thing.

Personally, I dislike the idea of means testing NZS. All that is going to do is create incentives for people to hide their money. It would also be more burdensome to administer and thus require more public money to implement. It's far better to keep it universal and administratively simple. That's ...
