He's the ultimate bench player. Fuck he would be good coming in at the 50 minute mark

How about player's player of the year (multiples), as voted by the ABs themselves? I think they know better than Reddit creamers
Oh yeah cuz, another plate from the buffet Ards, I got ya.
The boy has some mana no doubt about it, but there are certainly things in his game that have caused balance issues.

Lol Ardie was by far our best player last year, people on here are seriously moronic.
The fact he’s even being questioned shows the lack of memory people have. He was a workhorse last year on both sides of the ball and I remember everyone eating their words. Now we are back to square one again so he has to prove himself yet again. Get fkd.
Whitelock and Ardie carried the ABs at times last year. Maybe other players need to get on their level.
Ardie isn’t the issue here.

TJ to lead haka

My issue is the totally dominant Blues pack only gets 3 into the AB’s.
Robertson and co have clearly favoured the Crusaders. Shame but I expected this
But re totally dominate. the Canes pack outplayed the Blues quite easily in the first match. And later vs the Crusaders the Blues were also outplayed.
But Crusaders 6 forwards to the Blues 3 seems a bit odd. As does the Canes (exc Savea) only getting three forwards. With Numia not rated.

Tough crowd.
World Rugby Player of the Year isn't good enough for Razor's All Blacks.Savea's incredible, but unbalances the trio. This isn't new.
haha - am I hallucinating?
You dudes are suggesting Ardie Savea shouldn't be picked.I think I’m hallucinating aswell mate. Crazy chat.

Ardie is a total energizer bunny workhorse who stood out even when we played shit.
A lot of group-think going on.Sad.

Biggest question no-one seems to have asked yet - Who is leading the Haka?
Codie Taylor?
George Bell.

Someone is butt hurt their golden boy didn’t make the ABs. Jog on.

Everyone knows Ardie Savea is a gifted rugby player. He's incredibly athletic, and very skilled.
But, and there is a huge but, he plays his own game. And to make sure we don't get fucked, we have to pick very specific players next to him. Guys who do fuck all but actually hit people, and actually hit rucks.
What was that big game we won because of Ardie again? He's 100% the nuts not the Sunday

@mariner4life
Slowly walking back your argument.
Good to see. -

You said the same thing last year and admitted you were wrong when Ardie was on a tear.
Isn’t that the coaches problem to pick guys to balance out Ardie? What’s wrong with a Finau, Papali’i and Ardie back three? Seems nicely balanced to me. Finau just needs to start hitting forwards instead of targeting midgets.
I don’t get the point in selecting both Jacobsen and Blackadder. That’s the issue here. They should have gone Ioane which gives us another big 6 to choose from. A good blindside is the issue here, not Ardie.

I like him targetting the midgets. Makes them think twice before taking the line on again.
