@Victor-Meldrew
Victor I wouldn't say appointing a new coach with a truckload of SR titles bold. I would call it sensible.
The big turnaround occurred when Jason Ryan arrived. Prior to that for about 3 years it was all Frank Spencer.The outgoing coaching tree has been getting kicked since 2019. They were a busted flush that almost nabbed the 2023 RWC

Some media has been picking Perofeta to make it.. with no Love or Plummer. That would be a bad call
Oh, FFS.
That scary fuckin look is 50% of the reason why the Blues won the Championship.
There was a warm place in my heart seeing Graham Henry looking grumpy in teh background of the last 2010's Auckland NPC side. Vern does the same thing.

@SouthernMann expecting 3 of the 4 wider squad to be Noah Hotham, Jamie Hannah and George Bell. All three were spotted out for lunch with Razor in Chch last week

also possible he was just catching up with some of the young guys he had brought into the Crusaders

considering they have to have cover for late injurys they need 3 10s and 2 fullbacks ass Dmac and BB carnt cover both if one injured.
options
At 10 Dmac ,BB and plummer
AT 15 BB,love Stevenson
both pereafeta
considering it is only for 3 matches and only if injury strikes it may be perefeta and free up another player else wear.
as I write I see so many holes in that theory
really looking forward to seeing the team -
I'd hope not Perofeta - there's something about failing to secure your spot as a 1st 5 and going back to 15 and being rewarded with an AB spot that doesn't fit well with me.
Maybe going for a Perofeta/Plummer combination? Or they just wern't impressed by Love during the season.

I'd rather they just have Plummer and Narawa cover 15 than Perofeta. Plummer is excellent under the high ball
agreed
plummer easily in top 3 10shas to be a 15 picked to backup BB or start ,for me not all of CC , MT SR and EN can be picked

Love is the best fullback in the country under the high-ball, I can't remember him dropping a ball this year. So when McDonald comes on TV and says they are largely picking their back three based on their ability in the air shows me that he's full of shit and would rather just revert to guys he's worked with before / doesn't have the balls to drop Beauden, who in my view should only be in the ABs as a 10.
