Akira’s foot injury has flared up a bit so they are giving him more time to recover
OK makes sense now. Akira's foot has got to be a worry. He missed the run up to Super Finals with it too. Looks like it'll be an issue that needs to be managed in terms of his workload etc.

That might be the most positive post on this thread today. Hmm, maybe Grace shot himself in the foot by figuring out his whakapapa, he could have been whisked in Ennor style to the starting lineup if he didn't play last night.

@Nepia Well, they moved Lomax from the MABs to the ABs, so they could do the same with Grace.
Lomax is in as squad cover though right? Not starting?

Yay S Barrett at blindside 🙄
Does RTS have covid? If not why the flying f*** is Ennor on the bench ahead of him?
And don’t even think about giving me the ‘experience’ BS.Ennor brings experience.
god i hate this
what experience? he's played what? 3 games? against who? and done what?
I get why he's there, because every other 13 in the country is dead. well, the two that the selectors can see anyway. But LF is arguably a better centre anyway.
You do know I am winding you fluffybunnies up right?

If Dalton isn't 100% why is he on the bench given there's 2 x 7s in the starting loose forward trio? Akira injured but are Hoskins and Vaai covid/injured?
Yeah I couldn't understand that one, then Foster coming out and saying SB is a option at 6 potentially long term.

He kept mentioning Dalton with Akira when talking about six, so I think the dopey bastard is going to play three sevens at some point.

Foster hates blindsides. Fact.
Has he watched England and Courtney Lawes and thought "yeah I'll have a bit of that" overlooking that CL is twice the player Barrett is.
A loose forward trio of two 7s and a lock is certainly revolutionary.
Scott you thick-necked, slow-footed dopey looking fuck you better prove me 100% wrong this year.
You too Ardie, smash dues in tackles, drive through rucks, win a few turnovers
Prove how fucking clueless i really am.

@mariner4life said in All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test:
so the mix in teh forwards is:
Three locks (okay)
Three Opensides (ummm)
One #8 (okay)This is a mess because we are absolutely wedded to starting a ruck-shy midget at 8 because the selectors watch YouTube.
Yeah because Ardie's really the issue in this instance aye, appointing a captain that isn't even the best openside in New Zealand doesn't help, and that's before you even get to Scott Barrett who is the oddest selection of them all.
You can thank Fozzie the Clown for creating this shit show.

@Canes4life oh good the Canes fans are here to circle the wagons

I'd prefer three 7s to two 7s and a lock named Barrett.

@Chris said in All Blacks v Ireland - 1st Test:
Listening to Foster, Scott Barrett maybe a permeant no.6 option.In his words "We see it as not just a stop gap option."
Fuck you, @Duluth just restored my balance and now you've reversed it.
Iife is truly a bitch sometimes.
