WTF has Fainga'anuku and PGS done to deserve selection?

Those two do stand out

[Daffy Jaffy]

No DeGroot is he injured?

[Bovidae]

No de Groot either.

And Havili

[Tim]

@Daffy-Jaffy Impact around the field is pretty low. Just not good enough.

Covers too many positions to leave out. Hopefully he's not a starter.

[antipodean]

This is how the forwards line up:

[Machpants]

Karl WTF, PGS I hope they can pick him up, havili meh. But otherwise Jacobsen replaced by PGS, shocking. I guess if Blackadder was fit he’d have been in

[Canes4life]

Second five is the biggest issue IMO. I really wanted to see TUJ in there, he's the only one in NZ rugby that continuously gets over the gain line.

[ACT Crusader]

Karl T probably the biggest surprise for me.

LF was our most dangerous back in the first half of the season but has tapered off a bit.

PGS whilst raw and didn’t play great on the weekend, does have a running game that has been very effective this season.

[Bovidae]

Halfbacks and midfield were the hardest positions to select.

[Crucial]

Tu’inukuafe over Hodgman is a shocker.

PGS over Jacobson is a surprise.

Yeah, that's the standout head scratchers for me too

Not been watching any Blues games then.

[Yeetyaah]

NO FRIZZEL AND BRIDGE LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

[MrDenmore]

Only one specialist blindside in Akira Ioane? Think they’re going to miss Blackadder’s versatility.

[Canes4life]

Foster saying he still sees Jordie at fullback. Tupaea to start at 12?

[Old Samurai Jack]

From this armchair, they got the backs right. Forwards have some surprises.

[Tim]

Unavailable for selection due to injury - Joe Moody, Anton Lienert-Brown, Ethan Blackadder.

Unavailable for selection due to New Zealand Rugby return to play criteria - Patrick Tuipulotu, Damian McKenzie.

Nah, plenty of blindside options with Papali’i or Vaa’i or Barrett
