    <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="rotated" data-cid="606959" data-time="1471651136">
    <div>
    <p>But in all fairness would have NMS starting in if remotely fit.<br><br>
    Also worth noting Hansen took a rookie NMS to the RWC over Dagg and took Savea on an apprenticeship thing on the EOYT, something they've never done, as a way of pre ordaining him for higher ho ours despite being a Hurricane. This hasn't been done for any Crusaders as best I can tell.</p>
    </div>
    </blockquote>
    <p> </p>
    <p>To be fair, Hansen explained Dagg's omission from the RWC squad by referring to his string of injuries and the fact that he didn't recover from his latest injury setback in time to be ready for selection. If Dagg had been fully fit last year, he might have been in the RWC squad. Not sure whether NMS would have been the one to stay at home in that situation though. They might have left Naholo in NZ. #wewillneverknow</p>

    <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Mokey" data-cid="606960" data-time="1471652256">
    <div>
    <p>Steve H is under no obligation to select 'fairly'. His job is to put together a team of men who not only have the requisite skills, but complement each other on the park for the game plan they have. This TEAM has to work together, and obviously some combinations and skill sets work far better together than others.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The Canes are my second team, but no way do I feel they should stack the AB's with their players. The shining stars (and not just in one game FFS) have been selected. If players continue to perform, they may get the call up to higher honours.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><strong>To say Boyd should have a 'forceful discussion' with Hansen - fuck off.</strong> At this point in time, with a couple of World Cups, the world number one spot, a shitload of victories home and away, I reckon the dude knows what he is doing.</p>
    </div>
    </blockquote>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Do Hansen & co even talk to Super Rugby coaches about All Black selections? Why would they have any input other than updating Hansen about a players physical and mental fitness at the time selection decisions have to be made?</p>

    This isn't Rooty Hill RSL where they are staying, I'm sure there have been many commercially sensitive meetings held there in the past month. Perhaps it is left over from that.<br><br>
    The fact they were suspicious after RWC, brought the equipment this time and then found it this time though is very suspicious. No idea why they contacted the ARU should've gone straight to the AFP.

    Maybe they did, and got the story held until today for more theatre...

    <p>If Winger were a better troll he should be saying the Canes coach should be AB coach. Hell, everytime a super rugby side wins, just make that super rugby coach the AB coach. It isn't like international rugby is different to super rugby and that combinitions can't gel into expert reliable combos overnight. Oh no. In fact, make Winger coach of the ABs<span style="font-size:8px;">. That would solve all the current problems and make far larger and more spectacular new ones...</span></p>

    Stuff just leaked a transcript of the phone call between Boyd and Hanson.<br><br>
    " hello Steve? Chris Boyd here"<br>
    " gday well done on the rugby title mate "<br>
    " cheers, I wanting to have a word with you about the number of canes players in the team "<br>
    "Is that right?"<br>
    " yeah considering the final placing a of the teams (realises he can hear dial tone) ......, um Steve you still there...,,,,?" <br>
    ( sound of resigned sigh )<br>

    <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
    <p>Australian Rugby Union (ARU) boss Bill Pulver told the Herald the organisation was alerted to the discovery by Tew this morning - and the two rugby bodies have handed the matter to police.<br><br>
    Pulver immediately cleared the ARU from any involvement or knowledge whatsoever.<br><br>
    "Look, I have literally just seen a note from Steve Tew telling me about this and a brief statement they [New Zealand Rugby] are about to put out which confirms that they found a listening device and the two unions have agreed to hand the matter over to the police," Pulver said.<br><br>
    "Mate, of course [the ARU is not involved]. It is completely ludicrous. I just think it's a ludicrous concept that there are listening devices being placed in team rooms. I don't know how that could happen."</p>

    Surely bugging the all blacks is far more important than Vlad!
