    From the interview.
    Fozzie sounds far from convinced RTS is ready to start (wanted to see if he has a "triple threat" short passing, long passing, and kicking game)

    He mentioned combinations being great and used Goodhue, Havili and Mo'unga as an example.

    -Wants AB team to play faster and stick to this style as being true to themselves.

    Wants to improve fringe defense around the ruck.

    Huge wraps on Sam Cane and firmly believes he is the right captain.

    Ethan Blackadder would have been in had he not been injured.

    Aaron Smith (groin) and Jordie (knee) could be a bit touch and go.

    Sees Jordie as 15. Having him at 12 might alter bench options. Does not think he would have done enough to be the best 12 in NZ. Sees him as complete package at 15.

    RTS is missing the quadruple threat otherwise he is golden.

    At least this year they have a cunning plan to outsmart the rush defence.

    It will be fucking epic when it's ready, cos they've been planning it since 2017!

    3 Canterbury players in the squad. That must be the lowest in a long time? The lowest this century?

    A reflection on how terrible Canterbury have been.

    I don't think so as all blacks barely play for their province!

    But I get what you mean

    @antipodean It’s depressing listening to this politician/rugby coach?

    I don't care whether it's RM or BB, but please no, not Havili and Goodhue.

    the plan to beat the rush defense is to lull them in to a mistake by being completely unthreatening for 70 minutes.

    Can you imagine the reaction on here if that's what they went with haha. It'd be a solid meltdown, bar a couple of one-eyed Crusader fans like Canerbry and Stargazer who would be sitting in the corner creaming themselves.

    Take Sam Cane. He was 101kg when he made his test début as a 20-year-old in June 2012. He's now 109kg - almost 10 per heavier in five years.

    ABs' weight evolution: Super-size only

    Seriously, you only have to look at Same Cane to see he's heavier than 103kgs.

    @No-Quarter Only problem with that backline is that a token halfback will have to be selected to go with Jordan, Fainga'anuku and Reece

    I’ll hand it to Fozzie, he does know how to mess with some of your heads 🙂
