All Black Squad for Rugby Championship

@mariner4life You promised we could have 13 Crusaders.
That's 11 - who are the other two going to be?

I assume if they don't play Dagg at fullback, Dmac might actually be the one in the 15 jersey.
I sincerely hope not.

@antipodean Isn't this the queue for the 15 jersey? Smith - Dagg - Jordie - Dmac? NMS is there as a wing. For Bledisloe, they have Smith. After that, it was either Dagg or, if they prefer to keep him on the wing, Jordie. Dmac is in the squad because Smith won't be available for the RC, so next after Jordie?

Havili. His error rate is lower and he's six feet tall...

@antipodean I can't write things like that on here. It provokes reactions like the one above.

I swear all you have to do is wear a red n black jersey and you are a certainty....

Sucks for Jordie. He did it going for the corner against the Lions, got up holding his shoulder in a lot of pain. I was surprised he stayed on the field after that.
@Stargazer the main reason I post on here is to provoke a reaction. Go for your life.

Take two between Todd, Tamanivalu and Goodhue.

Ah shit. It looked serious but he kept on playing (badly).
Was bloody excited to see him play in the RC.
Poo bum wee.

@Crucial Surely they'll be thinking they need to give Sopoaga plenty of time in the 10 jersey, now? He's hardly a test veteran. Barring injuries, I think he should be getting any time at 10 that Beauden doesn't.
Will be interesting to see what they do when Ben Smith goes on sabbatical. They will no doubt mix it up a bit - but, form and fitness permitting, I'd tend to go with a first choice line-up of:
Smith, Barrett, SBW, Crotty, Ioane/Naholo, NMS, Dagg
Perenara, Sopoaga, ALB
Skudder might not have the form to warrant this but, if he does, it gives the "two fullbacks" back three.

@Chris-B. Feels like Lima has been an allblack for a long time now but been virtually never used

Yeah - but won us a game in SA by playing really well. Hoping he really starts to shine in the environment.

He did , impressed us all , not sure if that was on debut but it was early , seems so long ago now .
