Look who shared this. I love him. Make him an AB next time Fozzie you dumbass.
That's awesome. Robinson must have asked the bar staff if he could look at the CCTV and then filmed it off his phone so he could post it. Lad!

Decent set of forwards, terrible set of backs. What a let down. Can't remember an AB backline with less threat. Average midfield. Terrible wings. Bridge's selection ahead of Leicester Fainga'anuku is some sort of sick joke.
Lazy, conservative, unimaginative selecting, Foster sticking by his mates. It's almost like Super Rugby form counted for nothing. I guess Foster skipped watching the games and went to McDonalds instead.

What a stupid thing to say! Clown. I think we are all unlucky NZR chose Foster ahead of Razor.

Why is that stupid?

@tim Lets be honest, if Akira didn't push and shove after scoring tries early in his career, everyone would love him and there would be no dispute as to whether he should be there or not.'
He's the enforcer we've been looking for since Kaino moved on.

@african-monkey that's not being honest.

@frye he strikes me as the ultimate team guy, someone that can fit into and help improve any team culture.
As a Northland fan, while disappointed for him, I am also relieved he hasnt made it (yet) as I am hopeful he will lead us in the NPC.

I kinda hate Salakaia-Loto for being run around by George Bridge in that 2019 bledisloe and now Bridge just gets to be an All Black for the rest of eternity.
He was playing 6 that night. There's a reason Rennie and Brad Thorn don't play LSL at 6.

@bones Off the bench, wiseguy.
Not sure Faiane is in the selection frame, even from the bench...

@hooroo If you back your judgement and your judgement is good, then players who miss out aren't unlucky, they are less deserving than those who got picked.
Ahh semantics crossed with FDS.

whether anyone thinks he should be there or not it hard to argue with how much it means to them which is cool to see, more than just a job

I think I'm happier with just "unlucky players".
Even though Big Leicester is one of my Mako boys, I have to say that right now, I'd choose Bridge ahead of him. Leicester still makes a lot of mistakes - regardless of colours he's not safe.
He should be a Fern favourite right now, though - because if he'd just recycled that ball close to the line instead of crabbing over the line and getting penalized, the Crusaders would have scored the try they needed and recent history might be quite different....

Or Ennor dropping the ball with the line open. Quality AB play there.

Might be a prerequisite for Fozzie's AB centres?

@chris Is Enari staying at the Crusaders? He was an absolute gun at U20 level, then basically didn't play for several years. Has also suffered under poor coaching at Canterbury. There must be something wrong with him if he doesn't move to get more opportunity, as he will have doomed any international aspirations by staying in the same franchise.
Enari has been out of NPC and SR for at least a year, because of a horror leg injury. I think it was 2019?
He has now moved away from Canterbury and will be the top dog in the Magpies' squad, with both Weber and Fakatava unavailable. The Magpies have great coaches. He now gets the chance to prove himself and should grab the opportunity with both hands. If successful, who knows whether/where he'll end up playing Super Rugby?
Who the hell would move to an NPC team with already Fakatava and Webber there in your position? Game time will be pure luck, not design.
The guy has a great knack for terrible transfers, it seems.
