@akan004 Broadhurst got named in the 2017 Canes squad
Did not know that. Fantastic news.

I'm actually disappointed at the non-selection of S Barrett to start. Would prefer more faith was shown.
Fuck, I could select this team and have an 85% chance of winning. Upgrade 'disappointed' to 'outraged'. Fucking muppets.
Warren? is that you?

He isn't even in the squad proper he is injury cover I have no problems deferring to full squad members first.

Good to see the NZ Herald is keeping up with the times - almost. This story got published and covered already. In other NZ media in fact.
Methinks, Fitzgerald has got a touch of the bitter lemons and revelling in the fact that he can have a controversial pop now as he seeks to become a pundit for the sports tv stations. Hasn't a patch on Darcy for analysis and writing.

@Pot-Hale I more or less agree with any article that criticises the Irish project player program

Fucking this. Have some pride.

@Pot-Hale well if you followed TSF close enough you'd know most of us don't really follow mainstream media too much
Saw it pop up on my FB feed....
You agree with him though don't you? So why does that make him bitter, or are you as well?

I want to know if BOD has tweeted his outrage that Umaga and Mealamu STILL haven't apologized after all theses years. Anyone know ?
Where the fuck does this random post come from?
Just alluding to the fact the irish seem to have gone from plucky celtic triers ( like the good old Scots will always be ) to self entitled whingers in the space of a decade or two.

I like these NH tours because it's Friday and we are still talking about the team selections
On Kaino I think it's more about knowing he can go for 80 at a high level but still not sure about whether PT can. So Kaino's the insurance.
Questions will be asked of our scrum

I think you'll be very surprised to know I agree with him. Its pathetic, giving Bent a jersey when he got off the plane is the sort of thing you'd expect of a rugby power on a par with Scotland and the project player scheme deserves every bit of scorn anyone gives it.

Nzherald saying that this is the first time 2 sets of brothers have been chosen since 1961 (Clarkes and Meadses), but I'm positive the Bachops and Brookes played at least one test together in 1994.

Yep I remember that test vs the Boks. We drew it and I think that was the start of some calling for Stephen to never be selected again.

The herald is wrong

Hard to beat the mighty Scots when they had the Milnes, Calders, Hastings, Dods, Bullochs, Leslies, Lamonts, Grays and Evans brothers running around.
Well, actually no it wasn't really.
