    Will we see any of this biff again? How much would that shot on Donnelly (0.21) get in this day and age?

    Love that Coles was the first in.

    At least there won't be a jersey colour clash.

    Nah the games in Welly, so South will be wearing their really dark grey away strip...

    My five least favourite Rugby people from the South Island.

    1. Justin Marshall. Arrogant bastard. Talks so much sh#t he must be drowning in the stuff.
    2. Laurie Mains. All the charm of Thunderbird puppet. Threw away the 1995 World Cup by not employing a proper chef.
    3. Alex Wylie. Dirty thug. Always miserable. Outfoxed in 1991 by Bob Dwyer.
    4. Bryon Kelleher. A man with no shame.
    5. Todd Blackadder. Even less personality and presence than The Suitcase.

    Up the North!

    South Island coaches were so bad in that era.that Marty Brooke missed out on the ABs to Chris Tregasgis, and Zinzan Brooke, the most dominant NZ player of the 90s, got overlooked for Aaron Shithouse Pene.

    Always amazed me that Laurie Mains never picked Duane Monkley for the ABs in the early 1990s when he was perhaps the best player in the world at the time.

    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.

    Both Aaron Smith & TJP were outstanding in Super Rugby Aotearoa. Wouldn't be surprised to see TJP being pulled quite early for similar workload reasons.

    Can confirm.

    You've obviously never visited Brown Owl in Upper Hutt.

    Only when on tinder. Hutt girls are friendly and easy.

    TJP was hardly outstanding. If anything his passing game was even worse this year compared to previous years.

    That's what we can't stand Mains in the Waikato.

    He and Thorburn picked every average Otago and North Harbour player they could. John Leslie must have wondered how he wasn't selected.

    I like the jersey colour allotment. In my mind the South are now England and the North are the AB's.

    F-off 😉 , they picked Mitchell, which set him on his coaching path to the ABs. Hate them for that, not for not selecting Monkely who was good but not the nailed on god Waikato fans pretend he is.

    @Nepia Liam fuckin' Barry?

    I've said before that Mitchell was the least deserving of that loose forward trio to make the ABs.

    McKenzie running straight and passing before he's tackled? Where was that all year.
