Rumoured team from a guy on reddit who claims he knows someone in the AB camp...
"Dagg injured, Mckenzie at full back, Ben Smith and Rieko on the wings. SBW and Crotty. Read, Cane and Squire in the loose. The rest of the squad the same as BIL series. Dan Coles out for the series
"This reddit bloke was well informed about Bledisloe 1 team. Any news on Coles for series?

Firstly, he shouldn't be in counselling or whatever, he should be in fucking night school. Long time since I've seen such shocking spelling.
Secondly, what the fuck is with this story? What possible gain could there be to bring this up so long after the fact? I have some sympathy for Smith, even though he did a truly shitty thing to his partner with this trailer trash, the subsequent consequences and public castigating were way, way out of proportion to the offence. And now, the poor partner has to deal with all this again. My full sympathy is with her, and also with NZR, who will no doubt be livid that this is making headlines again when they are building up to a big game.
Fuck Seven Sharp etc here who are breathing life into this. There is zero in the public interest factor.

Surely Smith will be stood down now? What a cluster.
Why? It all hit the press well before the team was named.
Also I would assume that this is old news to Hansen and Co. and Smith was prepared for this to come out
Yeah you'd have to think if she is claiming for defamation, she'd of gone to NZR first wanting an out of court (and media) settlement or hush money or at least she would have had a solicitor make the approach.
It all stinks TBH.
This is the only thread I'll be discussing it on, not clicking any links, wont be watching Seven Sharp (not that I do anyway)

His terrible spelling might save him from the law.
Lying in a sawn afterdavidad would surely be perjury and wouldn't surprise me if inciting someone to lie in one would be an offence.

I'm just a bit bored by the thing. But the lady must have freaked when Smith texted the name of his agent "Alcock". Couldn't make it up...

While the All Blacks today said they believe they dealt with the Aaron Smith "toilet tryst" last year and it was essentially business as usual for them and Smith, NZR feels they need to investigate the matter further. In a statement to Stuff, NZR said: "Based on information published today New Zealand Rugby believes that it needs to investigate the Aaron Smith matter further and has instructed an independent lawyer to do so. "Until those enquiries are complete we will not be making any further statements to the media. It is effectively an employment issue that requires investigation." -

i would of thought if she was worried about breach of privacy and defamation she would be going after the video taker not nzr.
I'm no lawyer, but I think she would have a hard time arguing a defamation case. While what happened may have caused her to be shunned/ridiculed etc, the defamatory words must be false, and will be assessed in context. And some context here is she had a sex with a bloke in an airport disabled toilet. So maybe it could be claimed fair comment/opinion.
I dunno. Ugh.

Add to the fact that no one has published her name that she can target. Any naming (and I haven't seen any) must have been on social media.
If anyone should have to answer it is the pond scum media that insist on naming and showing his girlfriend who has done nothing wrong and is not a party to the act itself. She deserves privacy, not having her name and photo splashed around.

That would be the pond scum media who doorstepped the wife of the bloke who shagged some bird in his office, and found the tinted windows at night were actually see through. I didn't get how any of that was in the public interest. Leave it on social media.

Great way to fuck up the lives of other people media. Keep that shit up.

That is something that is particularly gross about the vultures. They give zero fucks about the humiliation or privacy of the wronged spouse/partner when it comes to the shady stories. They just want clickbait.
As you say, it's not public interest news. Just tabloid trash.

For Ferners who like stats:

Hopefully Sam Cane's alright after last Saturday's head knock.
Who's our fourth openside? -

Who's our fourth openside?Call up Shields just for the heck of it and put him on the field for 5 minutes just to piss off Eddie Jones.
Surely he can pretend to be an open side?
But yes, we a a bit light in that area at the moment.

No love for Blake Gibson? I thought he would be next in line if Cane and Todd are both out.
