If Razor is going to pick a development type player, it will be a Crusader

Based on what evidence?

You can take the coach out of Canterbury but you can't take the Canterbury out of the coach.
Also didn't he want Havili to play 10 as a "project". What. The. Fuck.

Shitballs. Get him in there starting. He's been earmarked after all.
A Hotham/Havili axis sounds awesome. Could be really exciting.

Nice bait mate, very rancid

I think wanting to take a look at Havili at 10 was reasonable. It is a position we are struggling for depth and it was before Plummer put his hand up. Now let's hope Razor has seen enough to not pick him.

His entire Super Rugby coaching career. Nothing but Crusaders.

From what I saw (and I didn't see much of the first 20), Havili showed why I don't want him in the ABs. Passed poorly, lacked physicality when he took the ball to the line. Not good enough to be 10, 12, or 15
Gotta hand it to him, one of the best at showing he not an AB in so many positions.
What more could you ask for? -

There's clearly better option available now - Plummer for one. That said, good to see Robertson working with SR coaches to try things.

@Canes4life why Ratima over Funaki?
But yeah interesting that Hotham has all of a sudden become a favourite for some after running the ball well in a couple of games (and looking awful earlier), yet others have been performing all season and now aren't as good...
What team does Hotham play for again?
He plays for the Crusaders.
Shitballs. Get him in there starting. He's been earmarked after all.
Stop exaggerating, it's not like he's on the Highlander's bench!
Or is that just loosies?

The opposition would be very excited and their fans as well - so you have a point.

@Canes4life i was going to say, Ratima is exceptional. I would pick him over Hotham
-
@Ruginmel yeah I would have Perenara starting and Ratima off the bench for the English tests. I just mean down the track Hotham, Ratima and Funaki will be battling to be the backup to Roigard which is some insane talent.

Hotham an outside chance for a black jersey
It depends if Razor is looking forward or just series to series.
My pick Hotham may get a chance in the rugby championship,He may not get picked for the England series ,I understand a squad wil be selected for the England and Fiji tests,then re selected for the Rugby Championship. -

My pick Hotham may get a chance in the rugby championship,He may not get picked for the England series ,I understand a squad wil be selected for the England and Fiji tests,then re selected for the Rugby Championship.Roigard should be back for the RC so if he doesn’t make the initial squad it will be even harder.

I guess that depends on how the HBs that are selected in those first tests perform.
That injury Roigard suffered takes a while to get back to your best I hope he doesABs need him,but some players have never returned to what they were or have taken 12 months to get back to where they were.
