    So they pick some unknowns in places where we have strength and some depth (prop, 1st five) and no new locks?

    WTF?

    @african-monkey

    The story will be about him getting time for the Maori, but that's shit.

    If they don't think he has a better upside that Fifita, they are fucking dreaming.

    By the way, Frizell has been totally dropped?

    I'm from Hawkes Bay and there's no way Evans should be in there over Akira.

    Where is the Tongan? I assume it's a misprint and he's still there?

    Cheers. Probably played too many minutes this year. The highlanders really played him too much.

    @gt12 haha, although the amusing thing is, he has probably played as many AB minutes as the Highlanders!

    @nepia Watching him play behind the North Harbour pack really does show his level. He should thank the Crusaders pack for making him look so much better than what he really is.

    So, one great selection in Papali'i and a whole lot of WTF elsewhere. Hansen is trolling us.

    Maybe it is trying players out for the world cup. With the reduced squad size, less space for specialists, so you need players who can cover multiple positions

    Yeah he's great for the Crusaders, but I'm always disappointed watching him play for harbour.

    Is Todd being selected the wedge of not needing to play in NZ? He is a great servant of NZ rugby, and he is coming back, but my understanding is that he is currently not under contract. An open door for the future?

    No Akira is just, well, fuck, I don't know. If they want to look at everyone and his dog, why not take Akira?

    No new lock? I like the Romano selection, but they should have picked another young one as well.

    Obviously I'm not saying Evans is shit ... he's awesome for us and the Canes but it's FU they can find a spot for him but not Akira.

    Akira may as well fuck off overseas now if this is how they rank him.
