I think it is pretty close to the best team. I take it Dalton Papalii is still injured otherwise he would be there. I think long-term Ardie Savea's best position like Beauden Barret is on the bench as a impact reserve, coming on just after half time to catch teams tiring.

What about adults with the mental age of a child? Should they be able to compete in children's sports on Saturday mornings and make the Junior rep teams and such and travel overseas to tournaments.

Yeah isn't it they don't want to waste any of his sperm or risk him being injured so they just show him a female horse in season in the distance and wank him off, then artificially inseminate the mare.

Alot of criticism of the players but these players were playing well just a few weeks ago in more intense games that that. How that fathead Hansen can big up his mate Foster in the media this week when it is obvious to everyone this is airy similar of the Chiefs when he was head coach. No ability to...

Yeah the All black midfield is played out of the game by Beauden Barret at 1st receiver what else is new. No leadership, direction or control from 10. See the loss to the Wallabies last season for the same thing or pretty much any test he has started at 10 since 2017.

Setting aside the World Cup year, Richie Mo'unga guided the All Blacks to a 50% win rate against the 7th and 9th ranked teams last year. I support his continued selection at 10 due to his obvious immense potential. He's was the best player at Super Rugby level for the last few years. He's not the b...

I think the NZRU should let them go you can never trust them anyway as the keep proving. Instead we should go with with a 7 team competition with the two island teams. However we should base one in Sydney and one in Brisbane. NSW Moana Pacifica and Queensland Druas start by recruiting a few of their...

Ennor should be given the job as marketing manager for the NZRU based on his ability to convince everyone he deserves All Black selection despite showing nothing. If he could bring half as much bluster as his career has had so far has we would be selling out Super rugby venues for the next 5 years.

I am a Crusaders fan that's why I know that is what McCaw and Carter used to do. Isn't it the excuse you used to use to defend Blackadder not winning a title despite having 2 Goats in his squad?

Akira will be the starting All Black 6 this season. Obviously he has known this since his commanding end to last season.

tubbyj

Big chance for the 3 Blues loosies to really cement their places in the All Blacks tonight. After a slow start they have built to near peak just as The All Black games will begin al the Goat in his later seasons. Too much irrational criticism of Akira Ioane on here earlier on when the All Black trai...

I think to command a place in the All Blacks you have to string together a series of performances in super rugby that catch the eye but also propel your teams performances and standing above the sum of it other parts. Laumape was never able to do this with the Canes so when he got a chance in the Al...

I once said Paul Miller was an excellent ref, but that was complete cr#p a minute ago. Brumbies absolutely destroyed the Hurricanes scrum, he had his hand out for the penalty, then the ball came out Hurricanes side, and he allowed play on. That's bullsh - you can't withdraw a penalty you've already...

I’ll tell you what, though, hearing that Thom mentions Frusciante as an influence was worth tuning in for. But then I always think of Mother’s Milk era JF and his funk metal, I guess his twee twiddlin’ on Scar Tissue and the Like is actually Thom’s precise vat of sick. John Frusciante should be in ...

All credit to the Reds though they have looked well up for it tonight and would probably have a comfortable lead even without the cards.

Wow this may be the solution to the problems with the Trans Tasman comp. NZ teams only allowed 14 players per team. Double bonus of making the comp more competitive and saving on the wage bill for NZ Super sides.

I don't think any nation's RWC team will look too different from their current first choice 2021 team. Because there are hardly any tests between now and then. I think this will be Ian Foster's first choice AB's team at the next RWC; 15. Beauden Barrett 14. Jordie Barrett 13. Anton Lienart-Brown 12...

I think Akira Ioane will get first shot at the blindside being the incumbent and having impressed at the end of last season.

Backrow stocks looking healthy for ABs. Not sure how they will fit them all, especially with guaranteed starts to Cane, and possibly Savea

If only our locking stocks were looking as healthy

I bet there are alot more cases like this than you think but people don't like to admit it as it makes them look like they are bad investors. You only hear from people further up the pyramid telling you how much they have made like it makes them a genius or guru.

At least my man Mark Robinson agrees with me. Does he agree that you need to sell equity in times of 'free money' in order to cover upfront costs of things that don't have upfront costs? Interesting. I'm convinced that Robinson has negotiated a big bonus for himself. Either that or he's a moron. Ag...

You will all be singing a different tune when the All Blacks win the 2023 World Cup, Silverlake is wheelbarrowing in the cash and Mark Robinson has been headhunted by the RFU to turn English rugby around.

That was a massive selection error. We still completely underestimate the old bull v young bull dynamic (especially in the tight five) at world cups.

Yep massive mistake should have cost Fox his job.

I don't like the idea that the All Blacks should be selected completely on Super Rugby Aotearoa form as it encourages players to peak in the early part of the season and burn out by the NH EOY tours. Previous seasons All Black performances should still count for something until a player shows a lack...
