Ennor has a shit season and he gets called into the team???? What the fuck Foster??? Nankivell was fantastic and Ennor gets the call. Just confirms that Foster is a moron.
He can't have been called in because he is familiar with the game plan, cos apparently foster had a new one to deal with aggressive rush defences. Something which especially effects our midfield....

You know you're getting old when AB Coaches look young.

Wouldn't be funny if Bridge was called up as cover and came on to drop a high kick or fail to beat a man.
Stop it.

Bit of a no-win situation for Foz.
Either ABs lose or they win without requiring him.
Or they loose without him and we get the loss blamed on covid etc rather than his shit coaching and squad selection

Genuine question here. A couple of contentious decisions aside (well Karl T really) what is the squad selection issue? Apart from keyboard selectors having their own favourite players I thought the squad was pretty much what most people would pick.

Was pretty good. I just have little trust because of the historic selections and performance.

A discussion for another thread but we have really veered into 'say it enough times and it's true' territory with the Foster period. It taints all genuine discussion and criticism.
If I was the lone selector my squad wouldn't be much different and I can assure you that it would be wrong. -

The larger All Black squad, or the best 23/ XV for the game?

Selection has been okay..........the ways the ABs have played, including the first ever loss to Argentina, not so much.
People have fuck all confidence in him because he has won fuck all has a head coach and he was preferred to a clearly more talented coach (Razor).
If the ABs start playing well, I'll change my mind.

Crusaders first five-eighth Richie Mo'unga was also absent from Tuesday training with a tummy bug. He may recover in time but, if not, Blues playmaker Stephen Perofeta could be called onto the bench to make his test debut.

if R Ioane goes down we are fucked. Proper fucked.
Unless there is this amazing new attacking pattern to unlock the ability of the lessor skilled backline members.
Another blow: Third All Blacks star tests positive for Covid-19
