All Blacks 2024

@Kirwan why can't we just pick the best players? If Cane gets in it will be a joke, if Havili gets in it will be a joke, Blackadder shouldn't be there because he actually needs to play consistently to show he's still up there. For me TJ only gets selected because Roigard is still out. Once he comes back I'd assume TJ will be dropped. Another guy we need to move on from.
I'd argue Proctor, Sotutu, Lam and Love were some of the highest performing players in super this year and probably couldn't have done more to warrant selection. If all of them miss out it will be bloody disappointing.

Devlin's oil is that Pasilio Tosi is in

That's him! That Southland tried to push to the Landers as a prop. Our management, went, don't be stupid. He's a big bloody 8

@SouthernMann very interesting, to be fair though the improvement he's shown in the last year has been huge. If he works with better coaches he could be a beast. Again though? Who does he come in for? Lomax and Newell are surely locks, unless they go for 6 props.

We may aswell mention every starting player in Super at this rate.

Anyone predicting any other Highlanders but EDG to make the squad?
Fakatava the only other possibility. EDG and Fakatava were the only two present at last week's camp.
-
pub quiz: which national / international team has Scott Robertson coached previously? clue: depending on your quibble I count 3. And one isn't well known but I doubt is one any other AB coach has coached.

Why would players in the squad be flying to Christchurch? Presumably the camp is in Auckland, and in any case I thought they weren't meeting until midweek.
Usually new ABs are at the AB announcements for interviews/photos

@HLD2023Champions possibly Mitchell P Dunshea, heard from one of my sources that he’d been lurking around the streets of Tauranga last week

Connor Garden-Bachop’s funeral is in Christchurch today. I think a lot of people are getting their wires crossed.

So, last year the ABs had a rather bad run with cards. Red against SA, two Yellows against France, then Red again against SA. What's the plan to fix this?
(Of course, Kolisi hit Savea head to head, and maybe in the air from a lineout take - Barnes is an absolute fuckwit.)
TMO and the in-room WR Commisars protecting the professional victims and Rugby Jesus from fair and unbiased officiating? ... fair play to Barnesy he did refer it.
