Sotutu's drawback is that he isn't as good as Ardie and only covers 8.
He’s better than Sititi and that’s who’s rumoured to be in.
I disagree.
Sititi is more powerful and direct than Sotutu.
It appears two different sets of coaching groups don't like him. -

less understanding from the rugby public if he's seen to have picked his favourites and ignored form picks
again, this has always happened, although favorites probably not right, more that the coaches see things a bit different when trying to build thier team.

Yep and the coaches know the players a lot better than the public and will think they can get the best out of whoever they select.

Wrong.
Razor selects the loose forwards.
Ryan the tight 5. -

Ryan the tight 5.OK fine but I wouldn't call Ryan and Razor two sets of coaching groups. Two peas in a pod

If the rumoured squad is true it's basically what you would do if you named a squad without having to make a tough decision.
He refuses to select a 4th lock
He refuses to drop a winger of the 4
He refuses to name a captain
He refuses to drop a high profile Crusader

I'm not outraged by the way - I feel sorry for Sotutu but I can understand the logic of him not being selected.
Some of the other rumoured selections (Havili and Bell).... not so much

You have no idea whether this is true or not.
Fact is - Foster, Schmidt and Ryan didn't want him.
And now it appears - Robertson, Ryan, Hansen and Macdonald don't want him either. -

And you are ignoring the other selectors in both groups.We need a Tight 5/Loose 3 coordination coach. The coaching team is clearly under-resourced.

As I said I can understand the logic of no selecting him.
My point was that saying two sets of coaching groups not selecting him is disenguous

For you it is because you think Razor doesn't have independent thinking seprate from Ryan.
Secondly, the last coaching group did not give exclusive power to Ryan to NOT select Sotutu. Foster had a big say and also rejected him. -
At the end of the day, it comes down to Ardie v Hoskins and it would be a big call not to have Ardie in the starting XV.
So the question is whether Hoskins is in the 23 and covers 6 or replaces Ardie who moves to 7 ?
