@Stargazer So if Ta'avao was fit to play HB then he will have served his 2 games. He was unlikely to have played in that game though before his suspension.

@KiwiMurph Greg Dyer maybe been the next best this season, but based on not much evidence.

I wonder if Jason Ryan had any input into Newell being called up.
Who was the TH option if not Newell?
Jaeger?
Thats the only other one I could think of who would have been considered.
Kinda serious question... who are the other THs in Super Rugby?

Owen Franks confirms All Blacks aspirations ahead of injury-delayed Hurricanes debut
Three years after he was dropped from New Zealand's 2019 World Cup squad, Owen Franks wants to play for the All Blacks again.
-
@Frye looking for that very very very elusive first try

@Bovidae said in Springboks v All Blacks I:
Lomax was there for the unavailable Ta'avao (for test 1).
With Angus Ta’avao, Brodie Retallick and Jack Goodhue making their way back from suspension and injury, the All Blacks selectors have called in temporary cover. Braydon Ennor, Tyrel Lomax and the uncapped Josh Dickson will join the squad for the South African leg of the tournament.
Bower now is the senior prop with 9 test starts.
I still don't understand the appeal of Ennor. Maybe I was watching the wrong AB games.

Well we don't seem to have the most mobile tightheads in the world, so cometh the moment, cometh the Owen..

Can't wait to repost this article after Lomax gets supplexed by the bomb squad.

He'll hit lots of rucks rather than stand next to them.

Do you mean George, not that cheating Aussie wk?
He'll be the first-choice Waikato TH and should be Ta'avao's backup at the Chiefs from next season.

First thing I saw. Would be pretty tone deaf for your parents to name you after that cheating bastard. A quick wiki says Dyer was born 3 years after Dyer's last international game. So his folks would know who Dyer the Liar was

I want to see naked aggression. I want someone to throw a dig.
Climb into Etzebeth at the first sign of him opening his gob.
Fold him like hot fucking laundry.
as a man of a certain age, i heartily endorse this post
however
with that big fuck-off Class Action against rugby now a real thing, i would imagine the direction has gone out from the top level that anything even looking like it might hurt someone in the head is now punishable by firing squad
so i do no believe next weekend is the time to be bashing blokes.
Someone should be in to Scott Barrett right fucking now.

its tongue in cheek but you get me. at the first sign of trouble all 15 off them should pile in. The ref won't do anything then.
Cane was mugged off by O'Mahoney and the likes of that shouldn't happen again sans retribution.
