Cheers guys.
Hopefully they consider players that were unable to play the North v South match.I hear a guy named Sam Cane might be a smokey

I reckon Smith and Perenara get 40 each so I wouldn’t be too concerned on that one.
More worried about South’s halfbacks...
That really sums up the problem here; why not just have the Probables versus possibles, so we can see Perenara versus Smith?
No.
Trials are as boring as hell.

There could be an announcement tomorrow (RC or 4 BC games only).

Stink that TJ is starting.
Good to see Pocock lite not make the team. Hugely overrated within the media.
Who?
Le Boche (ier)

smith not starting the only surprise for me
Aaron Smith played a huge number of minutes for the Highlanders, is 31 and is clearly the Half Back in NZ. I can understand the AB selectors trying to manage his workload.

so, two trophies up for grabs...looks a little fragile

...probably the least amount of rugby he's played in a decade

@Kiwiwomble The other point to consider is, by the next RWC in 2023, Aaron Smith who will be nearly 34 may be used as a finisher by the ABs.. No harm in giving him experience being one.
I'm as disappointed as anyone that Aaron Smith is not in the North starting XV, but I can understand the selectors looking ahead a bit.

It doesn't look like it's going to be as bad as in 1980 (Palmerston North):34K views · 294 reactions | The North vs South fixture was great back...
The North vs South fixture was great back in the 1970's and into the 1980's before it was scrapped. Here's some footage from the game in 1980 on a very wet Palmerston North showgrounds, North winning...

Three years out from the world cup, least rugby played in the professional era - we've got to protect our senior players!
Don't be such a cuck.
