@Victor-Meldrew Are you arguing that Foster does drop players, or that he doesn't?
Cody Taylor is back where he always was -- starting. Despite not being the best hooker in the country.
Frizzell is back starting too. No-one has ever been preferred to him since he made his way in. The only chance he had of being taken out of the preferred 15 was for other old-timers, so Scott Barrett can be included.

Man, I finally saw the snail trail fern jersey in the flesh this weekend, ugh, it is really obvious and looks childish and cheap. The jerseys they are wearing now don't have it on them, I just thought it was very subtle. Nope gopping, saving me some dosh tho
It's obvious on the polo shirt and training top - it's not obvious at all on the actual jersey. Talk about a beat up over nothing.
It's totally obvious on the RWC jerseys, looks crap as fuck. One was in the window in a shop, you could see the snail trails from across the street
Can't see it on the jersey they are wearing now, as it doesn't have it. Only RWC stuffthe snail trail is definitely on their current jerseys, saw it on the weekend, i think theyre ones are a slightly different fabric or just not as obvious from a distance....but definitely saw it when close up on one of the players, Savea lifting the bledisloe for example

Oh OK, maybe it is just the replicas that have it so fucking disgustingly obvious

From the AB shop, looks about right
They brighten the patterns in the photos so you can see them.
They don't show out that much in person.

@KiwiMurph it was that clear when i saw them last week when back in NZ

The replicas do
EDIT HD watching of the Haka shows no sign of the snail trail, they are not on the non-RWC jerseys at all

probably bang on you would think

@mariner4life wonder what they were 3 weeks ago...
-
some quick googling says the hosts generally win their opener.
Only England in 91 and France in 2007 have not won their opener.
Of course, going on to win as host is much much harder

The social media.post the ABs put up today asking the squad if they would rather run it straight at Kaino or tackle Jonah in full flight was pretty good
Question should have been running it straight at Jerry
