@antipodean do they throw a wild card in there with PGS?
I think Sotutu is our wild card. Get that boy some game time

The BBC reports that -
Second row Iain Henderson has sustained a knee injury and has been ruled out of Ireland's tour of New Zealand.Ulster's captain is set to return home after picking up the injury in training on Saturday.
Very unfortunate. Not a bad player and in this squad would probably be the reserve lock for the test matches as he was in the big 6Ns games.

Ireland’s most powerful lock.

@The-Docter Hey Doc, welcome to the Fern.
In just 9hrs of Ferning you've made a bunch of decent points and about 17 spelling mistakes.
I reckon you'll fit in well around here.

He’s a starter with Ryan in the normal run of things. Was injured at start of 6N. Serious blow for the squad.

One way to get Sotutu on the park.

Surprising that it's been a decade since Ireland last played in NZ:
Ireland v All Blacks in NZThere's a few AB players that are still around from the 2012 series: Whitelock, Retallick, Smith, Cane and B Barrett
Retallick, Smith, Cane and B Barrett all made their debut during that series

@Duluth shit that is a surprise!

is it though?
No one comes in a RWC year, so that's 2 years out.
The Lions is another one out
2020 and 2021 CovidSo that's 4 tours since. 2 for France, 1 each for England and Wales.

i didn't say the math didn't check out..just i hadn't really thought about it and off the top of my head i might have thought a top team would have come more recently

nah since we switched back to the 3 test series it's spread out heaps. And seems weird because we usually play 3 big teams in November.
And we really seem to love France touring.

The decade before the last visit Ireland were here in 2002, 2006, 2008, 2010
All Blacks have played in Dublin 4 times since the Irish last played in NZ
Covid has had an impact but it seems NH visits are getting less frequent. Don't know what Scotlands problem is.. they haven't been here since 2000

Wasn't that when we would get at least two nations here in June (which we wanted because NZRU got sick of dead rubber 3rd tests. We are nothing if not hugely arrogant)
who organises? Is it by invite? because if it is i imagine the Scots aren't the draw card, they'll end up playing the shit stadiums like Nelson, Napier, and what ever tin shed is in Christchurch. NZRU can't afford it.
